A Loʻi is a traditional Hawaiian taro field, specifically designed for growing the taro plant, known as kalo. These fields are typically located in low-lying areas where water can be easily channeled. The unique design of a loʻi allows for the flooding of the fields, which provides the necessary moisture for the taro to thrive. Loʻi are an essential part of Hawaiian agriculture and culture, reflecting the ancient practice of sustainable farming. They are often associated with the concept of ahupuaʻa, a land division that extends from the mountains to the sea, promoting resource management and community well-being.
