Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam Joint Base Commander Capt. Samuel White toured MA’O Organic Farms as part of their Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration (REPI) partnership in Waianae, Hawaii, Jan. 26, 2026.
In 2020, MA’O Organic Farms entered a REPI partnership with the Navy to steward 236 acres of agricultural land in Lualualei Valley, known as the MA’O Palikea 236 farm site. The partnership established compatible land uses and activities–such as sustainable agriculture and biocultural restoration.
MA’O recently announced the awarding of $1.57 million in FY 2025 REPI Challenge funding from the U.S. Navy. The award supports the MA’O Palikea Fire and Flood Mitigation Project, a biocultural restoration initiative designed to reduce wildlife and flooding risk, strengthen community resilience, and help protect mission readiness at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam.
