About the Program
Oʻahu Good Food Purchasing Program
For the next three years, this program will help engage with key partners from government and private entities in institutional purchasing. Partners will be supported in implementation of strategies to facilitate purchasing and procurement of locally, sustainably, and equitably produced food thereby contributing to the overall vision of a resilient and sustainable food system in Hawai'i.
The City and County of Honolulu's Office of Climate Change, Sustainability, and Resiliency, Hawaiʻi Public Health Institute and the Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement are leading the way.
The Center for Good Food Purchasing is the brain behind the framework that Oʻahu will implement in institutions across the island.
This procurement framework is called the Good Food Purchasing Program. It will unite various stakeholders in Oʻahu's food system through common strategies and goals.
