Hawaii's recent catastrophic flooding has devastated local farms, leaving many farmers struggling. Bok Kongphan's farm, once thriving with lemongrass, cucumber and okra, is now covered in dried mud. The storms in March brought Hawaii's worst flooding in 20 years. Without insurance, farmers like Kongphan are trying to obtain government aid and figure out how to resume growing food. Oahu's North Shore, known for big-wave surfing, was hit hard, affecting local food production. Hawaii’s agriculture officials are urging farmers not to give up, stressing that local agriculture is crucial for the isolated archipelago. The state is offering support with seeds and starter plants, but recovery remains difficult for many.
