Ep 20. Ag Legislative Issues and Solutions

In this episode we speak with Georgia Pinsky who is both farmer and a farmer resource on the island of Maui, and Representative Amy Perruso from District 46 of Hawaiʻiʻs state legislature and a member of the Ag, Finance, and Energy & Environmental Protection committees. We talk about stressors ag producers have voiced related to legislative issues, and also some possible ways we can all help move forward changes.
