1 Food Sovereignty and Water Security Internships Kaua i Hawai i University of South Florida - Patel College of Global Sustainability Introduction At Greenwork, we believe in the power of partnerships to address energy and resource challenges around the world while supporting economic and community development. The problem to solving challenges in poverty, sustainability, and community resilience is not a lack of financial capital, technical expertise, or leadership skills it is a lack of collaboration and an effective mechanism for matching resources to communities and projects that would thrive given capacity and support. We convene partners across cultures and sectors to collaborate on initiatives that foster positive social and environmental impact. Our initiatives support local leadership, bridge targeted resources, and promote benefits for all stakeholders. Greenwork is the newest initiative of Peacework, a global nonprofit that creates and supports participatory service learning projects with trusted community partnerships in over 25 countries. Peacework s success is built on a tightknit team of global change makers, a widespread network of stakeholders across cultures and industries, and a 27- year track record of skilled project development with over 90 institutions of higher education and corporations. Students involved in Greenwork initiatives will gain firsthand experience in internships throughout the world that directly contribute to local community goals and increase their global green impact. We work with institutions and students to develop customized learning and work experiences that foster global leadership, provide practical experience, and create sustainable impact. In 2017 Greenwork and community partners in Kaua i Hawai i will be offering seven (7) internship positions working directly with local leaders, educators, and community members in areas of food sovereignty and water security on the island of Kaua i. This document briefly outlines the general model and scope of our Kaua i project site opportunities as well as the roles and responsibilities of each entity, and may be modified to meet the educational, development, and goals of all participating. 1

The island of Kaua`i, Hawai`i is the most remote inhabited landmass in the U.S., and even with year- round sunshine and rainfall, the aptly named Garden Isle currently imports approximately 85% of its food supply. In the event of any kind of emergency the island has enough food for just a week, and being at the very end of a 45- day fossil fuel supply chain, this is a major health and economic challenge and concern for local communities. Hawaii has a rich culture of traditional methods of natural and sustainable agriculture that, due to a variety of factors, has partially been lost within communities. Though diversifying food production sources has brought economic benefits to the area, the expansion of larger scale agricultural industries has also brought Kauai challenges in health and access to affordable, fresh produce. Local leaders and community organizations are working alongside partners like Greenwork to revitalize Hawaii s traditional agricultural methods to provide 2

3 healthy and affordable produce while connecting communities to their agriculture roots and supporting sustainable economic development. Graduate students have the opportunity to intern with local leaders and community members to address food and water security challenges across the island in collaboration with Greenwork and local partners in Kauai, Hawaii. These research projects and overall partnerships support a collaborative effort to rebuild Hawai`i s agricultural sustainability, feed its people, and create meaningful, culturally relevant economic development opportunities for its future. INTERNSHIP TITLE: Food Sovereignty and Water Security in Kaua i, Hawai i RESEARCH PROJECT: To support Kaua i community partners in projects researching and addressing challenges in food sovereignty and water security across the island of Kaua i. PARTNER ORGANIZATION: Greenwork LOCATION: Kaua i, Hawai i (US) LENGTH: Minimum 4 weeks NUMBER OF STUDENTS: 5-7 Topic Exploring Food Sovereignty and Water Security on one of the Most Remote Populated Islands in the World Highlights Hands on field projects in island food and/or water security Cross- cultural opportunities in Kaua i Real world experience in sustainability development projects Exposure to a network of grassroots project leaders and experts Brief Description In this hands- on, experiential internship, students will work alongside several staff of Malama Kaua`i, a Kaua`i- based nonprofit working on sustainability issues and food sovereignty solutions. They will explore various problems and help to provide solutions through several different program areas, while gaining an in- depth insight into the unique food sovereignty needs, water security challenges, and culture of the Hawaiian Islands. Some of the overarching questions students will aid in addressing are: What are the barriers to new farmer development, and how do agro- internship programs for youth and young adults help to build a pipeline of new farmers? How does gleaning and capturing agricultural waste have an impact on food access and the farming industry? What are some examples farm- to- school and institutional shifts that can happen to create strong agricultural industry growth, and what are their impacts? How can a Community Farm model support sustainable agricultural growth? What are the implications of watershed protection efforts and water access issues on food sovereignty? How does the agrochemical / seed industry impact Kaua`i s food sovereignty? 3
