Farmer in field
Hawai`i farmers, ranchers, and producers are encouraged to participate in a Seeds of Wellbeing Survey (SOW) being conducted by the UH-College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources (CTAHR) to gather information on the stress and stressors in the agricultural community. The survey may be accessed at: https://sites.google.com/hawaii.edu/sowwell/home
The survey will contribute to a greater understanding of Hawai’i agricultural producers’ wellbeing needs. The survey takes between 10 – 15 minutes and is available in English, Chuukese, Chinese, Ilokano, Spanish, Thai, and Vietnamese.
An informational presentation on the survey is available at: http://hdoa.hawaii.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Introducing-FRSAN-SOW-Needs-Assessment-Survey.pptx
The Hawai`i SOW program is being funded by a $500,000 grant from the USDA National Institute for Food and Agriculture (NIFA) and is administered by the Hawai`i Department of Agriculture, which sub-awarded the funds to CTAHR.
