"Look! She like make more babies!!!!" =)

I sure love this guy! He is like my grandfather and brings back only fond memories! I live in Oregon and miss my years of growing up in Hawaii. I listen, just to hear him speak! He warms my heart.

Incredibly well spoken, with actual concrete evidence. Crazy that the GM train just keep wrecking through. Thank you to Dr. Pang for standing up and trying to hold the “pro-science” techno-evangelists accountable to the scientific method.

To say they want to criminalize seed saving and natural farming practices is the word of the devil. They should have been hung back then.

Uncle Jerry I've watched you video, and fell I love with it. I dont know too much about kalo, don't even eat kalo. My husband LOVE poi. He will eat poi over anything else but little bit pricey now days, but whenever can I'll get him poi. I find listening to you in your video made me so in the zone, and find it so interesting, and so true. Chicken skin! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. God Bless you, and you ohana.

Fakaaue lahi(thank you) Papa for the Eke Kupuna of the Hawaiian kanaka.

I've been transcribing part of this talk for an article I'm writing. Here's what I've done so far: "A lot of people look down on us as mahi'ai, as farmers. 'He's only a farmer.' They fail to realize that to be a good mahi'ai yeah, you have to know the universe of a mahi'ai, which means I have to be a water scientist. I have to be a soil scientist. I have to be a weatherman to be able sense the wind, the rain. The whole environment is my universe. So when people look at a mahi'ai or a farmer or a hula dancer and say "She's just a humu hula," or "he's just a farmer", they don't realize the extent of knowledge. Kupuna ike, the knowledge of our ancestors, is the science. The big difference with science today and a science of yesterday is: (1) science of yesterday, we're not limited by money; (2) we're not limited by time. It takes us three generations to verify that that variety can grow in the cold waters or the hot water. That's what it will take. Today's science, they focus all way down to the atom, to the element. But because they're restricted by funding and time, the focus is too narrow. They don't know the consequences of what is outside of this lo'i [taro patch]. They don't know that five years from now, that taro they bred will be invasive and take over the lo'i and choke all the rest of the taro. The science today, we as practitioners need to malama [take care], to have them sit down with us and tell us, what is their intention. What are they trying to do when they hybridize a certain variety of taro? The quest for the super taro, the taro that will grow in every environment, in every situation, is a myth. The varieties we have that our ancestors passed us, down to us, is extreme. When I say extreme, kalo paua, the only one that can grow in the desert of Ka'u." Mahalo, Uncle Jerry! 🙏

Thank you for keeping your heart wisdom alive.

Thank you for your wisdom and dedication. I admire you.

I'm not sure I will ever forget being deceived by Vandana Shiva. It was in the late 1990s and I was watching a panel discussion on CSPAN. Shiva was one of the participants and she was blaming Monsanto GMO cotton for a huge number of suicides committed by Indian farmersbecause of the economic losses when their crops failed. The number of suicides, per year, was something like 100,000. I was, of course, very upset about that. But later I found out that she was simply lying. Until around 2004, the only GMO cotton being grown in India was in test plots. It was not legal to grow it otherwise. The farmers were under contract to the company Mahayco, a Monsanto subsidiary. They were to grow the GMO cotton to see how well or badly it performed in a number of growing conditions. After the growing season, the cotton would not be sold. It was destroyed. The farmers were paid for their time, not for their harvest. They were paid the same amount regardless of the yield or of the quality, and all their inputs were provided, seeds, fertilizers, etc. They stood no risk at all from a bad harvest. There is no way anyone could honestly attribute a suicide to the economic loss of a bad harvest in such a case. Later I learned somewhat more. There were at the time about 7 million Indian farmers growing cotton (all non-GMO) but India, with more than a billion people, was mostly farmers. Clearly almost all of those farmers were growing something else, rice, wheat, beans, whatever. The number of farmer suicides, which was an honest number, was for all farmers, not cotton farmers. She had to have known that when she presented it as suicides due to failure of a cotton crop. I suppose more than twenty years later, I should not still remember that deception with such anger.

Who is his dad?

Miss you Uncle Jerry and your wisdom. Thank you!

Everything He says is extremely, ultimately important.

Very cool!

Now they are calling for his resignation....

Oh my God. Understanding. Master speaking here.

This is alsome information to take in🙏🏽 and latest updates?

The plant at 7:34 we in Trinidad cook the leaves and stalks into Calaloo and also the roots separate, nothing is wasted in that plant, it is a famous weekend dish here and grows in almost every kitchen garden.

Sickening what these people have done to this LAND. All with a smile on their faces.

I see FOOD. Rich in nutrients. Thank you for sharing. Maoli

My Granny would tell me, there is nothing wrong in being a rancher, farmer, fisherman, planter of vegetables and fruits because that is how you survive by food not by 💰 money, just by doing what is needed to survive.

Mahalo uncle Jerry 😊for sharing your mana'o❣ The Kalo is a spiritual connection the Hawaiian of old Hawaii, understood its life sustainable food! The Kalo farmers are connected to the Kalo in humility & appreciation, what it takes to keep our Kalo thriving with their wisdom. Ola ke Kalo, Ola ke Kalo ke kanaka, means if the taro lives, the Hawaiian live ❤

great video.done support.

Samoans are the best

How does this not have a million views for 8 years? Who is shadow-banning this? Show yourself you coward

“A potato is a potato” is an example of how English and other western languages have dumbed down our understanding of the world by blind labelling. Unlike noun based languages, Other languages are context sensitive. Indigenous languages don’t do that, they give specificity, context and relationship. “You open yourself to listen. . .” That is what we are missing, what we need to do to learn our place and survive.

Huge insight and wisdom here. Mahalo!

Wisdom beyond measure.
