"Now Big Island already has ready-to-use land; it was originally cultivated by the construction company workers during their idle time for vegetables, but now it's mostly used to provide for the tourists coming over."
"Over the past two months, some of the supplies on the island have been self-sufficient, mainly seafood and vegetables, but the vast majority are air freighted from domestic sources, and the freight is somewhat high."
"So I was thinking, since there's so much vacant land on the island now overgrown with grass and shrubbery, why not clear it to grow vegetables, or even food crops."
"We're not short of fresh water here on the island, and the areas that were previously cleared had lime and such spread on them. Any land we can clear now is naturally fertile, so growing things will definitely not be a problem..."
"Alright then, I'll recruit people," Sean Knight thought for a moment and said, "Give me a plan detailing how many people you need."
