Molokai Livestock Cooperative is a vital resource for the island’s ranchers, providing USDA-inspected meat processing services that support the local food system and ensure food security for the community. By offering a facility for small-scale ranchers to process cattle, pigs, axis deer, and other livestock, the cooperative helps sustain Molokai’s agricultural traditions while promoting self-sufficiency. Meanwhile, Molokai Wildlife Management plays a crucial role in balancing the island’s ecosystem by addressing the impacts of invasive species, such as axis deer, which can threaten native habitats and agricultural lands. Through responsible wildlife management practices, the organization helps protect Molokai’s natural resources while also creating opportunities for sustainable harvesting and local food production.
