Pono: Fixing Kalo
More accurately, it’s fixing us who have failed to care properly for kalo. From the perspective of Hawaiian belief, as the younger brother, we’ve shown very little respect for the elder. In recent decades, disease has become a critical issue, and crops are failing. Poi demand goes up while supply goes down. Water issues only exacerbates this problem. But, the agriculture around commercial kalo isn’t focused on the ancient wisdom of the Hawaiians - kalo is treated like a corn crop. Is it kalo’s fault? We are what’s different in this equation - and that bears some examination from the viewpoint of solution seeking.
