Dexter Kishida
City and County of Honolulu
Food Security and Sustainability Program Manager // Gerente del Programa de Seguridad Alimentaria y Sostenibilidad
Honolulu, Hawaii
Dexter's passion is to connect communities to their food. For the past eight years he has worked for the Department of Education's School Food Services Branch most recently as their farm to school coordinator. He now works for the City and County of Honolulu’s Office of Climate Change, Sustainability and Resiliency as their Food Security and Sustainability program manager. His mission is to connect communities to high quality locally produced food that connects them to Hawaii. Seeing the economic, social and health benefits of eating closest to the source, much of his work includes supply chain development and increasing access to locally grown and raised food for Hawaii communities. /////
