 CONCLUSION
Community Agriculture was first established in
Logan, Utah 2017, By the Utah Conservation
Corps, and Urban Community Farms (UCC,
and UCF)

Today. Cities across the U.S. are inspired by

UCC, and UCF accomplishments, and are
replicating their diversified farming techniqs.

As I am also inspired. I want to incorporate

UCC, and UCF Community Agriculture system
with traditional farming practices.

To ensure that the people in the Hau’ula

Ahupua’a build connection with the land, and
create nutritional, healthy livestyle.
