Global Breadfruit Summit

An international convening of farmers, researchers, cultural leaders, makers, and innovators working to shape the future of breadfruit.

Scheduled for September 21 - 25, 2026, in Kona, Hawai‘i, the 2026 Breadfruit Celebration will bring together the international community of farmers, researchers, Indigenous knowledge holders, and innovators dedicated to the resurgence of breadfruit. Building on the momentum of seven previous summits—most recently the 2024 gathering in Tonga—our core focus is to uplift and share the knowledge, practices, and suitable application of breadfruit as a life-sustaining resource for building a better world.

The Global Breadfruit Summit portion of the celebration aims to amplify the knowledge, priorities, and lived experience of breadfruit practitioners, researchers, and educators worldwide. Our hope is not only to facilitate the sharing and documentation of knowledge but also to support the development of strong relationships that span across disciplines and regions.
