Maui Gold Pineapple leads the way: Transforming agriculture with soil innovation and reef-safe practices
An acre of Maui Gold Pineapple’s farm is the location of a new test plot for biological soil amendment, organic liquid filled with nutrients and microbes created by SoilThrive by Environmental Solutions Maui.
Sitting on a hillside plantation previously run by Maui Land and Pineapple Company, Maui Gold Pineapple (Hāliʻimaile Pineapple Company), its successor, leased property years ago that had a long history of extensive pesticide and fertilizer use impacting water wells and coastal waters through runoff. While terrace blocks are carved out to prevent runoff, this belies the fact that chemical runoff continues to impact Maui’s shores.
