REQUESTING THE COLLEGE OF TROPICAL AGRICULTURE AND HUMAN RESOURCES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII AT MANOA TO EXPLICITLY INCLUDE BUSINESS EDUCATION AND GUIDANCE FOR FARMERS IN ITS MISSION STATEMENT.

WHEREAS, according to the website for the College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, part of the mission of the college is to create and deliver "knowledge that supports and strengthens . . . agricultural and food systems", and part of the college's vision is to "solve real world challenges"; and

WHEREAS, the College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources at the University of Hawaii at Manoa has focused mostly on the agricultural aspects of farming; and

WHEREAS, many farmers in the State could greatly benefit from business education to ensure that their farming operations remain profitable; and

WHEREAS, although the agricultural aspects of farming should remain a high priority at the College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, the college should also prioritize business education and guidance for farmers to help those farmers "solve real word challenges"; now, therefore,
