To mark the 20th anniversary of the Agricultural Leadership Foundation of Hawaii (ALFH) in 2002, the Foundation joined with the Hawaii Farm Bureau Federation (HFBF) and the University of Hawaii College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources (CTAHR) to sponsor its first statewide conference for the agricultural community. The goal of the conference was to help participants build capacity and to consider new ways to enhance, expand, and market to increase their profitability.

Building on the two year’s successful collaboration, the sponsoring agencies have partnered once again, with the addition of the State of Hawaii Department of Agriculture this year, to create Hawaii’s only statewide conference for the agriculture industry. We are pleased to present Ag 2004, “Changing Times: Enhancing Your Assets.” The theme of this event places emphasis on creating value and profitability by enhancing the “bottom line.”
