Two weeks ago we announced Ho'oulu ka 'Ulu, a community-based project to revitalize 'ulu (breadfruit) as an attractive, delicious, nutritious, abundant, affordable, and culturally appropriate food. If you have not already done so, please help us assess the Hawai'i Island community's interest in reviving 'ulu by completing a 5-minute survey by Sunday, September 12, 2010. Your survey response is essential to help us get started in the right direction on this essential work (and you could win a prize). We greatly appreciate your support!
