How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?At CTAHR, to reach the communities of interest, Hi!ag program outreach activities are posted on the college's activities website http://www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/site/Activities.aspx. Articles on selected projects also have been publicized in CTAHR's weekly e-newsletter, "CTAHR Notes", the college's monthly external e-bulletin, "CTAHR Alumni and Friends" E-bulletin, and CTAHR's quarterly "Impact Reports". These enhance public understanding and interest in our college and in our fields of study. At HawCC, information was disseminated to communities of interest through lecture and lab courses as well as program websites [http://hawaii.hawaii.edu/forestteam/]. For outreach activities, school visits, career fairs and community events, a combination of verbal communication, posters, and program brochures were used to educate the public. At KCC, the many programs are designed to disseminate the results of the training and upcoming outreach opportunities, through on-going community partnerships with the YMCA after school child care programs for elementary schools, teens afterschool, intersession and summer programs. Communities of interest are also reached as our teacher -trainees utilize their knowledge in developing their curriculum and classroom projects. At KauaiCC, Hi!agI results are discussed in regular agriculture classes and farm fairs. In addition to this, students' internship results are displayed (in the form of posters) on college building walls. Additionally, the program and Ulutopia were featured in the research magazine fo the University of Hawaii: Matsunaga, E.R (eds). 2019. "Ulutopia, A Tiny Orchard's Potential Role in Shaping Kauai's Sustainable Future" Noelo: Delve, Seek Out, Verify, the research magazine of the University of Hawaii System published annually by the Office of the Vice President for Research and Innovation. Honolulu, HI. At LCC, Hi!ag reaches the communities of interest through garden tours to community groups and while doing outreach in schools - to both students and teachers. Program staff respond to requests from students and teachers in different schools who are using the database for projects by offering more information and connecting people to resources in the community. At UHH, Hi!ag reaches the communities of interest through program outreach activities and partnerships with student and community organizations. This year, we also electronically published (and distributed) the proceedings of the 1st CAFNRM Student Symposium, to increase interest in student research. At UHMC, Hi!ag shares information though the UHMC Facebook page for college activities, (https://www.facebook.com/pages/UH-Maui-College-Agriculture-and-Natural-Resources-Department/234570036579111), and it is regularly updated with pictures of course projects, program events, staff and student accomplishments and other agriculture or conservation events held in the community. At UHWO, Hi!ag shares information through their website, Sustainable Community Food Systems (SCFS) at https://westoahu.hawaii.edu/scfs/. At WCC, Hi!ag reaches the communities of interest through participation at community events, participation in professional conferences, articles in community publications, and discussions during campus and garden tours. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?

What was accomplished under these goals?
Hi!ag has made progress toward our grant objectives of developing the local agricultural and food production workforce through education and training. The student tracking system provides a great deal of information on how well the consortium is meeting this objective in terms of numbers of students served, their persistence in meeting their educational goals and their degree completion. The student numbers themselves are impressive. Over the past five academic years, more than 2,500 students have benefitted from Hi!ag activities. Hi!ag students are ethnically diverse, mirroring the make-up of the larger society of the UH system as a whole and the state of Hawaii. But Hi!ag serves a higher proportion of Native Hawaiians than the overall UH system. Hi!ag students also show more financial need as compared to their UH peers. Hi!ag students show a high level of persistence, with almost three-fourths enrolling in the semester following their entry into the data system and almost 80 percent continuing for two or more semesters thereafter. About 23 percent transfer within the UH system, most frequently from a community college to one of the UH campuses. AY18/19 Student Data The AY 18/19 data base represents a total of 479 students, a 17.2 percent decrease from the prior academic year. This decrease may reflect underreporting by participating campuses or may be due to changes in funding levels for 2018/19 grant year. In the tables below, results of the analysis are reported in most cases by gender. Where appropriate, results are also reported separately for Native Hawaiian students, since the AN/NH NIFA funding targets this demographic. In the following analysis, all data for UH students as a whole are taken from the UH website: https://www.hawaii.edu/about-uh/. Data have been analyzed along the following dimensions: Institution, Gender/ethnicity, Age, Courses taken, Degree completion and Persistence. Institution Students were reported for the following institutions. The 2018/19 academic year is the first for which UH West Oahu functioned as part of the Hi!ag consortium. Institution M F ND Total % Total Hawaii CC 23 5 0 28 5.9% UH Hilo 24 42 1 67 14.2% Kauai CC 6 14 1 21 4.4% Leeward CC 58 51 7 116 24.5% UH Manoa 0 1 0 1 0.2% UHMC 16 13 5 34 7.2% Windward CC 65 115 1 181 38.3% UH West Oahu 12 13 0 25 5.3% Total 204 254 15 473 The low numbers from UH Manoa reflect the fact that Hi!ag funds are not generally used for direct student aid or to support courses. Kapiolani CC, although a member of the Hi!ag consortium, similarly used its funds for other activities. Gender/Ethnicity Only a negligible number of students did not report gender or ethnicity. Of those that did report, more than half (52.8 percent) are female, with 43.8 percent male. This gender distribution for females is somewhat different from the overall UH distribution of 57.4 percent female/42.6 percent male reported for Fall 2018. As can be seen from the following table, the percentage of students identifying themselves as Native Hawaiian make up two-fifths of the total, almost twice the number reported for the UH system as a whole: 22 percent in Fall. It is the evaluator's understanding that many students who identify themselves as "Mixed Race" are part Native Hawaiian. In 2018/19, Native Hawaiian and Mixed Race students accounted for more than half (57.7 percent) of all students. Both the Native Hawaiian and the NH/Mixed Race percentages are up from the 2017/18 academic year when these ethnicities accounted for 36.1 and 52.0 percent of the total respectively. Ethnicity M F ND Total % Total Caucasian 36 56 2 94 20.1% Native Hawaiian 85 103 6 194 41.5% Mixed Race 30 41 4 75 16.0% Pacific Islander 4 7 0 11 2.4% Asian 41 36 2 79 16.9% Other 9 4 2 15 3.2% Total 205 247 16 468 % Total 43.8% 52.8% 3.4% Age Students enrolled in Hi!ag-supported activities are spread over all age groups from 15 to 71, with the average age of 25.3, which is quite close to the UH average of 24.7 in Fall 2018. More than one-half (57.0 percent) are traditionally-aged college students in the 17-24 age group. The age distribution for Native Hawaiian students in this category is considerably higher than that of the total population, at almost two-thirds (63.4 percent). The small number of pre-college aged students are in dual-enrolment programs with a local high school. Pell Grant Status The data base provides information on students who are Pell-grant eligible and thus could be considered to have limited financial resources. The data shows that about two-fifths (56.7%) of the Hi!ag students are Pell-eligible, down from almost one-half (51.6%) in AY17/18. Less than half of Native Hawaiian students (45.4% percent) are Pell-eligible, considerably down from AY17/18. In both populations, more females than males are eligible. For UH as a whole, 41 percent were awarded a Pell grant in Fall 2017, the last semester for which data are available. Degree Objective Students in the tracking system are pursuing a variety of degree objectives, from certificate to Master's level degrees. However, the data indicate about two-thirds of the general and almost over three-fourths of the Native Hawaiian population are aiming for an associate degree: 71.9 and 78.2 percent respectively. This is not surprising given that most of the Hi!ag enrollment is at the community college level. Courses The tracking system contains information on all of the student's academic activity for the reported academic year. Thus, one student could take more than one course. The data set contains a duplicated count; that is, the 479 individual students account for 1,330 "seats". Degree Completion During the 2018/19 academic year, 100 reported students completed degrees: 20.9 percent of total students. For students who took more than one certificate/degree--for example, a certificate and an associate degree--the highest degree is reported in the table. Of the degrees, 32 percent were in agriculture or ag-related disciplines and 47 percent in a STEM discipline; 29 percent were at the bachelor level, up from around 20 percent in the prior year.

In addition, it is exposing students who are pursuing other disciplines to agriculture processes and issues. This information can not only provide knowledge and skills for personal use but should also prepare a citizenry more informed about the policy concerns surrounding food production and food security.

Target Audience:The Hi!Ag consortium targeted Native Hawaiian and other underserved populations in Hawaii with efforts to deliver science-based learning, such as formal classroom instruction, practicum experiences, innovative curriculum development, internships, workshops, extension and outreach. Summaries of consortium member programs are as follows: Within the UH Manoa College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources (CTAHR), the target audience was college students, primarily those enrolled in CTAHR; prospective students in K-12, community colleges, UH's four-year institutions, and from outside Hawaii; educators in K-12 and higher education in Hawaii; and the general public attending outreach events promoting CTAHR and other academic/training programs in agriculture and natural resource management in Hawaii. Within GoFarm Hawaii (GFH), project efforts targeted Native Hawaiians and other minorities of Hawaii who are current or aspiring producers of agricultural products using locally-grown agricultural products as primary ingredients. Within University of Hawaii Hilo (UHH), target audiences included post-secondary students, K-12 level students, community members, faculty and staff. Efforts to reach this audience included formal classroom instruction, laboratory instruction, or practicum experiences; experiential learning opportunities; extension and outreach. Within University of Hawaii Maui College (UHMC), the target audience was primarily Native Hawaiian Preschool-12th grade students, and Native Hawaiian undergraduate students enrolled in the Agriculture & Natural Resources (AGNR) program or students taking classes within that program. Project efforts to reach the P-12 target audience included informal training during campus tours with activities. Formal training for undergraduate students was delivered with college credit courses that include lecture and lab. Within Hawaii Community College (HawCC), the target audience was Forestry and Agricultural students, State and Federal agencies that work in Agriculture or Natural Resource Management, local high schools students, and the Native Hawaiian community. At Kapiolani Community College (KCC), the target audience for project efforts were the following groups: Students K-12 grade in public and private schools; participants in community youth programs - middle to high school; preschool-aged children and their care givers; teachers in public and private schools; and staff of non-profit community based organizations delivering obesity prevention and intervention, healthy eating, and farm-to-table education. At Kauai Community College (KauaiCC), the primary target audience was Agriculture majors at Kauai CC. The secondary audience is non-major students enrolled in Agriculture, Plant Biology, or Tropical Agriculture classes. Prospective students, Preschool through high school, were targeted during special events, such as Ag Awareness Day. At Leeward Community College (LCC), the target audiences for project efforts were current LCC undergraduate students and instructors, K-12 teachers and students, and community members of Native Hawaiian ethnicity. Project efforts to reach target groups included formal education (classes in botany, horticulture, education) and informal education (tours and workshops for teachers, students, community members) in the area of plant sciences and agriculture. At Windward Community College (WCC), the target audience was recent graduates, current declared students, and students taking classes within the Agripharmatech program certificates (Certificate of Achievement in Agripharmatech:Ethnopharmacognosy, Certificate of Achievement in Agripharmatech: Plant Biotechnology, and Certificate of Competence in Plant-Food Productions and Technology). Efforts to reach the target audience included engaging these students in research and extra-curricular activities (on/off campus events as student ambassadors) and program efforts that positively affected student learning efficiency and retention.

Program staff attended and presented project-related posters. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?To reach the communities of interest, UH Manoa College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources (UHM-CTAHR) Hi!Ag program outreach activities are posted on the college's activities website http://www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/site/Activities.aspx. A monthly Academic and Student Affairs Office (ASAO) Newsletter describes events, both upcoming opportunites and highlights of past events. Articles on selected Hi!Ag projects also have been publicized in CTAHR's weekly internal e-bulletin, "CTAHR Notes", the college's monthly external e-bulletin, "CTAHR Alumni and Friends" e-bulletin, and CTAHR's quarterly "Impact Reports". These enhance public understanding and interest in our college and in our fields of study. GoFarm Hawaii (GFH) reaches out to communities of interest through numerous speaking engagements, websites, e-newsletters, and articles in other's newsletters, Facebook, Twitter, and during one-on-one consulting. GoFarm maintain the following websites www.gofarmhawaii.org, www.aiphawaii.com/, www.fb.com/aiphawaii, and www.fb.com/gofarm.hawaii; and twitter account @gofarmhawaii. UH Hilo (UHH) reaches the communities of interest through program outreach activities and partnerships with student and community organizations. UH Maui Campus (UHMC) maintains a FaceBook page for college activities, (https://www.facebook.com/pages/UH-Maui-College-Agriculture-and-Natural-Resources-Department/234570036579111), and it is regularly updated with pictures of course projects, program events, staff and student accomplishments and other agriculture or conservation events held in the community. At Hawaii Community College (HCC), information is disseminated to communities of interest through lecture and lab courses as well as program websites [http://hawaii.hawaii.edu/forestteam/]. For outreach activities, school visits, career fairs and community events, a combination of verbal communication, posters, and program brochures were used to educate the public. At Kapiolani Community College (KCC), the Train-the-Trainer program is designed to disseminate the results of the training and upcoming outreach opportunities, through on-going community partnerships with the YMCA after school child care programs for elementary schools, teens afterschool, intersession and summer programs. Communities of interest are also reached as our teacher -trainees utilize their knowledge in developing their curriculum and classroom projects. At Kauai Community College (KCC), Hi!Ag results are discussed in regular agriculture classes and farm fairs. In addition to this, students' internship results are displayed (in the form of posters) on college building walls. Leeward Community College (LCC) reaches the communities of interest through garden tours to community groups and while doing outreach in schools - to both students and teachers. Additionally, LCC works with the Native Hawaiian Student Support Coordinator in a continuous effort to reach the communities of interest. Windward Community College (WCC) reaches the communities of interest through participation at community events as a guest speaker, participation in professional conferences, articles in community publications, and discussions during Bioprocessing Medicinal Garden Complex tours. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?Program staff will continue to follow the Plan of Work.

What was accomplished under these goals?
Objective 1: Develop the Local Agricultural And Food Production Workforce Through Education and Training The activities under this objective deal with student recruitment, offering courses/ degrees, internships, and K-12 outreach. Activity 1.1 - Recruit students (especially Native Hawaiians) into Agriculture Related Programs. Hi!Ag effots to recruit students into agriculture related programs has taken many forms across the consortium, but consists of 5 major efforts: (a) We reached 9232 students through classroom presentations, campus tours, and collaboration with K-12 programs. (b) We reached 492 students through experiential learning bridge programs. (c) We reached 8415 community members, potential students, and communities of interest through multiple outreach events. (d) We mentored 2 high school students for science fair projects, Science Olympiads, FFA, or similar. Outreach to the community as a whole raises the visibility of UH agriculture programs and can generate public support as well as attract students. At UHH, the new PD has strengthened ties with the local high school with the goal of revitalizing agriculture education at the secondary level. This past year, students in HORT 262 went to the high school to conduct demonstrations of horticulture techniques. The PD is planning to provide farm tours for elementary and secondary students in the coming year. At WCC, the program will continue to support Early College courses delivered at three local high schools under Carl Perkins funding but using Hi!Ag-developed curriculum. Over the last year, 40 high school students earned an Early College Certificate of Competence in Plant-Food Production and Technology. The Kailua High School, Kamehameha School, and Hakipuu Learning Center students each earned with 9-college credit for their courses completed on their high school campuses. Activity 1.2 - Articulation; and Activity 1.3 - Develop and refine courses/degree programs At UHH, the College of Agriculture is in the process of revamping the curriculum in the areas of Tropical Plant Science and Agricology, with a focus on sustainability. New courses are being developed in organic agriculture, low impact agriculture and recycling. As part of this revamping and revitalization, Hi!Ag funding is now directed at more courses than in prior years, including beekeeping and animal production. The Hi!Ag PD has developed and delivered a new course in vermicomposting, which will transition to a catalog course in 2019. Additionally, UHH focus has become more student-centered and targeted at student success. There is an emphasis on student leadership development: The AG student association has been reanimated and students are involved in a variety of projects, from cafeteria waste recycling to production of manuals in animal science. A pre-vet student organization is planned for the coming year. LCC has finalized their articulation efforts with UH West Oahu's (UHWO) Sustainable Community Food Systems (Bachelor of Applied Science degree) program and three 2018 Leeward graduates will matriculate to UHWO next fall. As UHWO joins the consortium in AY2018/19, it has the potential for attracting students from other community campuses who might be interested in agriculture but would not enroll in a straight agriculture degree. Activity 1.4 - Support internships, undergraduate research, and leadership experiences Across all activities and campuses, 219 students participated in internships, undergraduate research, and/or leadership opportunities. This year, Hi!Ag held the first Hawaii Island Student Agricultural Study Tour (HISAST), a system-wide, multi-day agricultural study tour, held Aug 2-4, 2018. 17 students visited 11 agricultural sites from Hilo to Kona (Hawaii Island). Participating students were from UHM-CTAHR, WCC, LCC, Kauai CC, HawCC, and UHH. Another highlight of the program was the CTAHR/COE Student Research Symposium, which provided 148 students with an opportunity to present scientific findings or engineering designs, and hone their research and communication skills. The top 20 presenters were provided with an educational stipend. Each of the opportunities we provide through Hi!Ag help to build student interest, and confidence in the viability of a career in FANH sciences. Activity 1.5 - Support to K-12 Teacher Training Hi!Ag supports K-12 Teacher Training through various efforts across the consortium. KCC conducted presentations for 43 teachers at the Kupu Hou Academy annual teachers training workshop for high school project-based learning programs, involving school garden, hydroponics, and food-related classroom activities. At another campus, LCC conducted the Green Collar Institute. 20 High School Teachers received training in a 3-hr workshop on place-based research and student environment. Other campuses reached out to teachers through workforce development meetings, or by being available to teachers (and School Garden volunteers) over the year to answer questions, or provide guidance. Objective 2: Expand Local Agricultural and Food Production through More Productive Agribusinesses This objective has four related activities: training, expanding markets, research and developing new products. Activity 2.1 - Provide training and continuing education GoFarm Hawaii is the major non-credit, continuing education component of the Hi!Ag grant. This year, there was a change in leadership from the PD who initiated and oversaw the growth of the program. Fortunately, the person assuming the PD position has had 12 years of experience working within the GoFarm program. The change in leadership has led to a subtle change in emphasis from the entrepreneurial, growth-oriented focus of earlier years to management of a now mature program which operates on all of the four major islands. The two separate but related activities of the former AIP--business consulting and farmer training--have now been consolidated under the GoFarm Hawaii brand, and business consulting services have been incorporated into GoFarm as the final stage of the sequence, as well as continuing to service clients at large. The curriculum has been revised to make it more cohesive and the program is now offered in one complete cycle rather than having several levels operating at the same time. With the transfer of the farm site from Leeward Community College campus, where space was limited, to the North Shore site on Pioneer Seed Company property, the physical needs of the program appear to be met. Over the course of the year, 84 individual participants have attended AgSchool and AgPro programs, between the programs on Oahu, and at KauaiCC and UH Maui Campus. Activity 2.2 - Assist Agribusinesses through Consulting and Research GoFarm provided agribusiness training, workshops, and continuing education. Over the year, staff held 25 agribusiness classes, on Oahu, Maui, Kauai, and Hawaii Island. Also, GFH staff met with 71 new and existing agribusinesss for business coaching and assistance. Activity 2.3 - Expand Markets and Products The Windward campus Agripharmatech program has been instrumental in developing new products through student research with native plants. Anecdotally, students have indicated that participation in the program has opened up new opportunities and expanded their view of possible careers in agriculture. Under the direction of the new PD at UHH, students in AG205--Value Added Production--participated in an on-campus Agriculture Day, which featured these products. Anecdotally, student interest is high and many student- producers have plans, or expressed desire, to market their items commercially in the future. At LCC, student are currently working on breeding and selecting for a tropical cauliflower variety that will provide farmers and gardeners in Hawaii with a variety that can be grown at lower elevations. Initial results were presented at the Variety Showcase, March 14, 2018, at KCC.
