Keanu Flores

Keanu Flores writes about agriculture, food systems, and environmental sustainability from his family’s small farm on the Big Island of Hawaii. His background in agroecology he holds a degree from the University of Hawaii at Mānoa gives his work a grounded scientific perspective that’s still deeply respectful of indigenous land practices. Keanu’s articles for Studio Post cover everything from soil health to farm-to-table supply chains with warmth and local wisdom. He is also a licensed drone pilot and uses aerial imaging for crop monitoring, which occasionally finds its way into his tech writing. On any given day, you might find him harvesting taro or leading a community workshop on composting. Aloha ‘āina is a core value, not a slogan.
