Dr. Isabella Abbott, internationally known ethnobotanist and the first Native Hawaiian woman to earn a Ph.D., will discuss the many varieties of taro. She will also share her mana'o on what Kalo means to Hawaiians and its place in religion. Cultural Specialist, Hugh Lovell, will explain his work of breeding Kalo by cross-pollination. He will also discuss the Polynesian migration, the origin of Kalo, and how it was introduced to Hawai'i. Cicero "Bernice" Bernales, HPC Foods' Quality Assurance Manager, will present the modern and future uses of Hawaiian Kalo. Sample products of kalo and poi demonstrations will be provided.
