Bill > SCR45

This Concurrent Resolution urges the Department of Land and Natural Resources to officially acknowledge that game mammals and birds are a sustainable food source, provided their populations are managed responsibly to protect the environment, agriculture, and watersheds, and that all state departments, agencies, and offices should integrate local hunting and fishing industries into their food sustainability strategies. The resolution highlights Hawaii's vulnerability due to reliance on imported food and aims to bolster food security and self-sufficiency by recognizing the value of these local resources, with departments required to report on their progress in incorporating these industries into their strategies.
