Background

The Hawai‘i Hunger Action Network (HHAN) is a statewide collaborative of anti-hunger institutions and advocates working to ensure that Hawai‘i’s food system reflects the needs of all of its communities.

The HHAN’s purpose is to build the capacity of local advocates to work on state, regional and local policy priorities, educate policymakers on issues in our food system, foster cross-sector relationships, and advocate for systems change in Hawai‘i. HHAN is an emerging voice in Hawai‘i’s policy making process that strives to bring transparency to food systems legislation, and to re-envision a political process that includes a more diverse range of food systems stakeholders at the table.
