Our Programs
Healthy Agroecosystems Program
Through direct funding and in-field technical assistance, we help farmers and ranchers adopt conservation practices that improve soil health, water quality, and long-term farm productivity. From working farmland to coastal and wetland systems, we meet producers where they are – with practical support tailored to Hawaiʻi’s unique landscape.
Best Suited For: Farmers, Ranchers, Land Managers, Biocultural Restoration Projects
Agricultural Conservation Services (O’ahu Only)
Through the Healthy Agroecosystems team, our team of certified Conservation Planners and GIS specialists provide NRCS-Approved Conservation Planning and Conservation Plan Monitoring services. We also connect our clients with Soil and Water Conservation Districts, USDA-NRCS, and USDA-FSA programs.
Thriving Farms Program
Producers who are navigating agricultural funding shouldn’t need a grant writer on their staff. We provide free- one-on-one assistance with grant writing, loan applications, and financial education – helping producers of all sizes access the public and private funding they need to strengthen farm business viability and local food system resilience.
Best Suited For: Farmers, Ranchers, Land Managers, Biocultural Restoration Projects, Food & Agricultural Businesses, Food & Agriculture Nonprofits
Resilient Food Systems Policy & Partnerships Program
Strong farms need strong systems. We collaborate with government agencies, nonprofits, funders, and industry partners to shape the policies, infrastructure, and investments that determine what’s possible for Hawaiʻi’s agricultural future.
Best Suited For: Food & Agriculture Nonprofits, Policy & Advocacy Teams, Policy Makers
Fiscal Sponsorship
We provide Fiscal Sponsorship to new sustainability focused nonprofit start ups. Through fiscal sponsorship, Agriculture Stewardship Hawaiʻi can help pilot nonprofits access 501(c)(3) funding opportunities, assist in administrative and payroll processes, and help your team work towards the stability required to launch an independent nonprofit in Hawaiʻi.
