WAIPA — Farmers who want to network, learn about new techniques and agricultural practices, and get other farming updates are invited to the Waipa Foundation on Sunday for the first Kauai Farmer Expo.

“A lot of farmers can’t afford to go to the big ag conferences held on Oahu, so this is a way for all of us to stay connected on island,” said Megan Fox, executive director of Malama Kauai, the organization hosting the event.

The day is meant to strengthen and celebrate the Kauai agriculture industry, and organizers hope this is just the seed of a growing annual expo.

The agenda includes a session on risk management in a changing climate, farmworker housing updates, and talks on accessing capital and farm loans and agriculture and social enterprise.

The Kauai Farmer Expo runs from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Preregister online before Thursday and get free admittance.

Cost is $10 at the door. Info: malamakauai.org or 828-0685 ext. 15
