PFI uses farmer-led investigation and information sharing to help farmers practice an agriculture that benefits both the land and people. Their values include: welcoming everyone; creativity, collaboration, and community; viable farms now and for future generations; and stewardship and ecology.

A key component of Ecology Action’s mission is to catalyze education and training opportunities in sustainable food production in communities around the world. The result: people in 151 countries around the globe are using the method in virtually all climates and soils where food is grown.

The first nonprofit organization in the world to focus its efforts on the restoration of loko i‘a, traditional Hawaiian fishponds. Through the tireless work of Hui o Kūapa, there are numerous organizations that do similar work across Hawaii, a hui (group) of fishpond practitioners that work as a collection for the restoration of fishponds, and a program that works to revitalize these traditional aquaculture systems.
