In this episode, we sit down with David Fuertes, a farmer, educator and advocate for food sustainability, to explore his path of bringing aloha to agriculture. As a community leader and Executive Director of Kahua Paa Mua in North Kohala on Hawaii Island, David has spent the past 15 years cultivating a “backyard revolution” through aina-based education that blends traditional practices with Korean Natural Farming. He shares how the organization supports youth and families in learning to grow their own food, raise animals, and build agricultural businesses. David reflects on rebuilding Hawaii's Future Farmers of America chapters, his roots in Kaumakani, Kauai, and the importance of pilina (relationships), a value deepened through his friendship with Pono Shim. Through stories of teaching, military service, and reflecting on E Ohana Hou (the eternal unleashing of grace), David reminds us that food and love can be the foundation of a thriving lahui (people).Episode Highlights0:24 Introduction to David Fuertes1:02 Kahua Paa Mua and the "backyard revolution" of learning to grow food3:15 Rebuilding Future Farmers of America (FFA) Hawaii chapters5:25 Pandemic pivots on the farm and Aloha Connects Innovation (ACI)9:32 Roots in Kaumakani, Kauai, a sugar plantation town; learning about hard work12:41 College, getting drafted into Vietnam War, giving back and lifelong friendships15:51 Becoming an agriculture teacher18:21 The best Filipino ringtone ever20:18 Former students, then and now22:44 Dream food sustainability scenario - ahupuaa model26:05 How to make agriculture thrive in Hawaii: a farmer's perspective27:28 Reading plants and organisms to help them grow and thrive30:18 Taro: teaching young ones about life32:15 E OHANA HOU35:28 Pilina: Friendship with Pono Shim39:47 Aloha and the lahui43:05 The universal language of love: food44:33 The 3 QP (Quality, People, Partnership)47:21 Aloha + the concentric circle of influence and control48:33 JFK Hawaii visit49:23 Driving with aloha Learn more about Kahua Paa Mua at: https://www.kahuapaamua.org/about  Welcome to the Above the Sides podcast!

On the ninth of February, the government announced its plans to incentivise migrants to invest in New Zealand. Foreign investment refers to when an individual, company or government invests money in businesses in another country. Foreign investment can bring economic benefits such as job creation, increased capital flow and access to new markets, which New Zealand is severely lacking. The government aims to welcome more people to contribute to Aoteroa and make it easier to do so. The new “Invest NZ” agency is modelled off the success of Ireland's Industrial Development Agency and Singapore's Economic Development Board. Sasha spoke to the University of Auckland's Burt Burmester about the government's foreign investment strategy. He claims that incentivising foreign investment from sovereign wealth funds does not grant New Zealand access to highly sought-after industrial knowledge. We also spoke about alternatives to foreign investment strategies and how to increase New Zealand's capital. Here is that interview.

This Week in Investment Migration - Mar 4, 2023

Listen to Investment Migration This Week on Spotify.Singapore's Economic Development Board has decided to sharply raise the minimum investment required to qualify for permanent residency in the city-state through its Global Investor Program. The threshold will rise from investments of SGD 10m and SGD 25m in categories A and B, both of which have hitherto demanded a minimum investment of only SGD 2.5m. Even under the previous thresholds, interest was limited: By the government's own count, the program has averaged 60 approvals a year since 2020.Property developers, industry associations, and the governor of semi-autonomous Madeira all expressed their vehement opposition to Portuguese Prime Minister António Costa's intention to close the country's golden visa program. Accusing the government's housing policy of being more “ideological than logical”, they warned the state's moves would tarnish the country's reputation, cause an unnecessary loss of sorely-needed foreign capital, and remove Portugal's competitive advantages.Madalena Monteiro, a lawyer specializing in Italy's “Dolce Visa”, said during an appearance on our Mobility Standard Podcast that there was a “99% chance” the Senate would introduce a real estate option for the program in the coming weeks. As golden visa options in the EU dwindle following the recent closure of Ireland's IIP and the heralded end of Portugal's golden visa, the Italian alternative has been the subject of renewed interest. The lack of a property investment option has thus far prevented the Dolce Visa from garnering the application volume of its southern European peers.In an impassioned opinion piece, Martin St-Hilaire and Philippe May May argue that Vanuatu might as well give up on meeting the EU's ever-shifting standards for citizenship by investment programs to retain visa-free travel to Schengen. Instead, they propose the pacific nation target the mid-market, focusing on citizenship investors motivated by factors unrelated to travel to Europe. Specifically, they propose reducing the program's asking price from $130,000 to somewhere between $75,000 and $95,000. Stephane Tajick, another IMI columnist, asks whether there's still hope for investment migration in the EU and whether the industry itself could have done more to avert Brussels' ongoing - and recently successful - anti-RCBI campaign.
