Mission
The Good Food Movement activates our community in Hawaiʻi to co-create a good food culture.

We continue purposefully with the perspective that changing the world can, and should be, fun.
What We Do:

We organize fun events such as film screenings, inspiring talks, cooking workshops, themed parties and more!
We collaborate with local stakeholders to foster community cohesion
We create and share resources that help people make more informed food choices

Manifesto
The Good Food Movement is committed to cultivating a strong community around healing the food system through conscious food choices.
We are a group of friends that strive to live joyfully, authentically and in alignment with our values, while inspiring others to do the same.
We are dedicated to preserving the beauty of Mother Earth, living in harmony with nature, and protecting the living beings we share this planet with.
Our inspiration comes from the resilience of nature and from the ingenuity of the human spirit. We invest our time and energy into co-creating Beloved Community. We believe in people to make intentional choices that reflect the inherent good of humanity.
We own our power as co-creators to be the change we wish to see in the world.
Good Food defined
Good: virtuous, kind, regenerative
Food: that which nourishes us to grow life & maintain health
Movement: a group of people working together to advance their shared ideas
Good food is grown, processed, distributed, bought & consumed in an intentional way – one that is in harmony with nature, that causes the least harm to living beings, that nourishes our bodies, and adds value to our communities. Food connects us all to each other and our environment.
We support the vegan lifestyle, local food production, organic, and beyond organic farming practices. We believe that community-scale, sustainable farming can and will feed the world. We recognize that individuals and communities have the power to co-create conscious culture rooted in a values-based food system.
