Program Summary
Description:
The Bill established a Carbon Farming Task Force to identify agricultural or aquacultural practices that sequester carbon, decrease marine sedimentation, and provide emissions reduction to support the creation of a carbon farming certification. The Task Force must produce a preliminary report of its findings, recommendations, and proposed legislation to the legislature before the regular session in 2023 and produce a final report prior to the regular session of 2025.
The Task Force was overseen by the State of Hawaii Office of Planning and funded through the General Fund of the State of Hawaii.
Soil Health Definitions:
“Soils that enhance their continuing capacity to function as a biological system, increase soil organic matter, improve soil structure and water and nutrient holding capacity, and result in net long-term greenhouse gas benefits.”
Stated Goals:
- To identify agricultural or aquacultural activities and best practices that provide carbon sequestration benefits that may be used to establish a carbon farming certification.
- To reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the agricultural sector and to improve Hawaii’s resilience to climate change
- The Task Force was conceived to overcome the historic division between agriculture and environmentalists through soil health and carbon farming as well as achieve Hawaii’s climate goals.

Lessons Learned
- Take the time upfront to educate lawmakers on the synergies and opportunities possible through improving soil health
- Bring together ranchers, farmers, and environmentalists. The Center for Food Safety hosted a conference to educate and build relationships; in this process, it was critical to ensure that producers and land managers had a seat at the table from the beginning. This helped people work together and agree on shared goals.
- While Task Force members are often met with skepticism because their position is often one of compromise on stricter or more “impactful” laws, the Task Force performs important groundwork for future work through building coalitions and education
- This bill benefited from a strong elected champion who introduced and shepherded it through the legislature.

Program Summary
Description:
In June 2018, Hawaii’s Governor Ige signed HB 2182 into law as “Act 15,” establishing a permanent Greenhouse Gas Sequestration Task Force in the Office of Planning and Sustainable Development. Act 15 repealed Act 33 (2017), replacing the Carbon Farming Task Force with the new Greenhouse Gas Sequestration Task Force (GHGSTF). The GHGSTF is made up of 19 members, representing state and local government, universities and extension programs, environmental nonprofits, agricultural/ranching associations, and other relevant appointees.
Act 15 also established a statewide target to both adapt to climate change and mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by sequestering more GHGs than the state produces by 2045:
“This chapter establishes the framework for the State to:
(1) Adapt to the inevitable impacts of global warming and climate change, including rising sea levels, temperatures, and other risk factors; and
(2) Mitigate its greenhouse gas emissions by sequestering more atmospheric carbon and greenhouse gases than the State produces as quickly as practicable, but no later than 2045.”
Soil Health Definitions:
No soil health definition yet. Definitions for agriculture, forestry and other land use (AFOLU), agroforestry, carbon sink, and forestry can be found here.
Stated Goals:
The Greenhouse Gas Sequestration Task Force (GHGSTF) aims to align Hawaii’s climate initiative goals with the state’s clean energy and carbon sequestration efforts. The mandated tasks include:
- Establish a greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions baseline as well as short- and long-term GHG sequestration benchmarks;
- Identify criteria to measure GHG sequestration that may be used to create a certification program for practices that generate agricultural and GHG benefits;
- Identify policies that would promote increased GHG sequestration and build healthy soils;
- “Identify ways to increase the generation and use of compost in Hawai‘i to build healthy soils”;
- Identify policies to add trees and vegetation in urban areas to mitigate high temperatures and increase climate resiliency;
- Make recommendations to the legislature and governor regarding measures to increase climate resiliency, build healthy soils, provide greenhouse gas benefits, or cool urban areas;
- Develop incentives and funding mechanisms for these practices; and
- Provide research, education, and technical support.
- Outcomes
- The task force is set to present a preliminary report to the legislature and climate change mitigation and adaptation commission no later than 20 days before the convening of Hawaii’s 2023 legislative session, and will submit a final report no later than 20 days before the convening of the 2024 legislative session.
- During their March 16th 2022 meeting, the task force formed three Permitted Interaction Groups (PIGs), one on agriculture, one covering aquaculture and marine use, and one on urban green infrastructure, to research and report on their respective scopes in preparation for the preliminary report. Both the agriculture PIG and the urban green infrastructure PIG are tasked with identifying and making recommendations to increase the generation and use of compost.

Stated Goals:
“The legislature finds that the use of cover crops and green manure increases agricultural productivity and aligns with the State’s integrated sustainability goals. Plants used for this purpose, including grasses, legumes, and forbs, add nutrients to the soil, act as windbreaks, assist with water retention, provide habitats for beneficial insects, and help to prevent soil erosion.
The legislature further finds that it is in the interests of the State to incentivize the use of management practices that enhance the quality and sustainability of Hawaii’s agricultural lands.”

SB2989 is a new bill establishing a Healthy Soils Program that was enrolled to the Governor May 2022. The Healthy Soils Program requires the Department of Agriculture to offer education, technical assistance, and grants to help farmers implement healthy soils practices. $500,000 was appropriated to support this bill.
The Healthy Soils Program shall:
- Create a statewide soil health assessment
- Provide education and technical assistance to farmers
- Establish healthy soils standards based on the findings of the GHGSTF (created by Act 15)
- Provide financial incentives to encourage on-farm healthy soils practices
The Act was set to take effect on July 1, 2022 but was vetoed by the Governor.
legislature recognized the soil health, agricultural, and climate benefits of allowing composting in agricultural districts.
This bill amended Hawaii’s definition of agriculture to now include composting, as follows:
“Composting and co-composting operations; provided that operations that process their own green waste and do not require permits from the department of health shall use the finished composting product only on the operation’s own premises to minimize the potential spread of invasive species.”
The bill was transmitted from the Hawaii legislature to the Governor May 2022.
SB3197 appropriates $300,000 toward a farmer mentorship program to help new farmers learn soil health best practices from mentor farmers. Since composting is considered a best practice, this program can promote composting and assist with monitoring of newly permitted operations.
This bill was enrolled to the Governor May 2022 and is expected to take effect in July 2022.
