Thanks to Hawaii’s mild, year-round climate, it is a fertile place that sustains many different types of agriculture. Approximately 40 percent of land on Hawaii is farmland. The state is home to approximately 3,600 crop farms and 1, 100 livestock farms that include cattle, hogs, milk, eggs and honey. The average agriculture sales per year in Hawaii are around $357 million dollars.

When most people think about agriculture in Hawaii the crops that come to mind are sugarcane, pineapple, macadamia nuts and coffee. While these are very important crops for the islands, there are many other crops that help sustain Hawaii’s economy. Among these many crops are ginger, banana, onions, sweet potato, lettuce and seed crops.

The little island of Niihau measures 70 square miles and is located 18 miles west of Kauai. Life is simple and unspoiled here. Most of the residents work on the ranch of the Robinson family, where they raise cattle. Everyone has a garden to grow their own vegetables and supplement the beef and mutton that they get from the ranch. They also fish and hunt with spears, nets, ropes and knives. Some supplies are brought in from Kauai, but the island is as self-sufficient as it can be.
