Breadfruit vs. Potato
Breadfruit vs. Potato is a good-humored public education campaign with a goal of increasing the use of breadfruit (a cultural staple food) as a substitute for potato (an imported food). The campaign highlights traditional knowledge, culinary artistry, and the latest scientific nutritional findings. The campaign reaches out to adults and youth through a wide range of media, including print, radio, public access television, social media, online and electronic media. The outreach campaign will highlight the perspectives of Hawai‘i’s youth.
