September is Eat Local Month

Posted On: Sep 01, 11

Kanu Hawaii’s third Eat Local Challenge calls on people across the islands to eat locally grown food in order to build a more sustainable, secure and healthy local food system. Building on the successes of the past two years, the 2011 Eat Local Challenge grows from one week to the entire month of September.

We invite everyone to make a commitment to take action in support of a healthy, sustainable, secure food system. Recipes, guides, and deals from Eat Local restaurant and market partners are available on Kanu’s website to help support challenge commitments. To join the Eat Local Challenge, Kanu Hawai’i suggests making a commitment at www.kanuhawaii.org/eatlocal.

Check out these ideas to integrate the Eat Local Challenge at School from Kanu Hawai’i and Kokua Hawai’i Foundation. Register your class’ Eat Local commitments and Kanu Hawai’i will send you a free packet of seeds!
