>[!abstract] Drawing from the [[2023-04-28 - Writing strategies#^7c0551| 5 sentence abstract approach]] 1. Production for local consumption may finally be on the rise in Hawaii, as large corporate investments in multiple agricultural sectors establish themselves. 2. However, while their financial interests and increasing production profit from demand for local foods, their scale can lead to consolidation in Hawaii's small marketplace can push other operations out of business and expose the islands to new types of risk in the food system. 3. This chapter describes the activities of these new investments and considers how their efforts are restructuring local agriculture and food system risks. 4. This research shows how the scale of their operations will likely lead to further consolidation in various agricultural industries, exposing the islands to monopolistic control of markets for local foods and pricing influenced by off-island and non-agricultural investments. 5. This study adds to understanding of how the corporate food regime restructures local systems by providing a case study of accumulation through localization, and provides evidence for how this approach exposes novel risks into the local food system. >[!llm] The Corporate Food Regime, represents a shift in the global food system that emphasizes the importance of local food production and consumption. This regime is characterized by the increasing demand for organic, locally-sourced, and sustainably-produced food, driven by growing consumer awareness of the environmental and social impacts of industrial agriculture. As a result, small-scale farmers and local food producers are gaining more recognition and support, leading to the development of alternative food networks and distribution channels. However, the global capital continues to play a significant role in shaping the food system, as multinational corporations invest in and profit from the local food movement. This complex interplay between local food initiatives and global capital raises questions about the potential for truly sustainable and equitable food systems in the future.
