Aloha!
To mark the 20th anniversary of the Agricultural
Leadership Foundation of Hawaii (ALFH) in 2002,
the Foundation joined with the Hawaii
Farm Bureau Federation (HFBF) and the University
of Hawaii College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources (CTAHR)
to sponsor its first statewide conference for the agricultural community.
The goal of the conference was to help participants build capacity
and to consider new ways to enhance, expand, and market to increase
their profitability.
Building on last year’s successful collaboration, the sponsoring
agencies, this year along with the Landscape
Industry Council of Hawaii (LICH), have partnered
once again to create Hawaii’s only statewide conference for
the agriculture and landscape industries. We are pleased to present
Ag/LICH 2003, “Changing Times: Growing Opportunities”
The theme of this event, “The Business of Agriculture and
Landscape,” places emphasis on creating value and profitability
by enhancing the “bottom line.”
Purpose
of the Conference |
Who should
attend? |
The agriculture and
landscape industries strengthen and diversify Hawaii’s
economy and together contribute over $4 billion to the state’s
gross revenue.
By sponsoring Ag/LICH 2003, the Hawaii Farm Bureau Federation,
the Agricultural Leadership Foundation of Hawaii, the University
of Hawaii College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources,
and the Landscape Industry Council of Hawaii have once again
come together to provide a forum in which everyone with an
interest in agriculture and landscaping can meet, talk, and
build relationships.
Our goal is to bring industries together for capacity building,
to develop opportunities to be more successful in business,
and to create an environment where people can exchange ideas.

The two-day event will
bring together both national and local industry innovators and
is especially designed for leaders with a vision for agriculture
and landscaping, innovators, entrepreneurs, landscape managers,
farmers, ranchers, contractors, architects, nurserymen, their
employees, golf course superintendents, and the professionals
supporting these industries in universities, state and county
governments, and non-profit organizations. |
