The land the college has cleared&#8212;armed with weed wackers and lots of sweat equity&#8212;stands in stark contrast to the tall grasses and trees surrounding the farm.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;To have a project this big&#8212;three acres, 40 &#699;ulu (breadfruit) trees, maybe 60 banana trees in the ground&#8212;is kind of unprecedented for a small program like ours,&rdquo; said Assistant Professor Lew Nakamura.<\/p>\n<p>Kaneta said, &ldquo;A lot of our emergency food customers actually come up daily for us and they love to have fresh produce that they can actually then go home and give their families and their keiki.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Nakamura is excited to be able to train more students who can grow food for the community and teach others to do it, too.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Where there is hunger, we need farmers. We need people to feed the community, and it&#8217;s good because we know if it&#8217;s grown here that it&#8217;s healthy, that it&#8217;s sustainable, and we know exactly the source of which it came from,&rdquo; said Decoito, who will graduate with her associate\u2019s degree in May and plans to pursue a teaching degree.<\/p>\n<h2>Theft blunts impact<\/h2>\n<p>Nakamura said there will be even more impact next year when the &#699;ulu starts to ripen. However, recurring agricultural theft is already blunting Mauliola\u2019s impact.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We&#8217;ve had probably over 300 pounds, or at least 30 bunches of bananas, stolen from us from this parcel,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;Big problem&#8212;people taking food away from people who actually need it.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a problem harming other farmers across the island. Nakamura said he is reaching out to the community to report any agricultural thefts they may witness.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_196925\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-196925\"
