The earliest Polynesian voyagers arrived in Hawaiʻi somewhere around 1000 BC to 500 AD. The new settlers to Hawaiʻi introduced pigs and chickens which come from an Asian ancestry. They also bring plants such as "`Ape , `Awa, `Awapuhi Kuahiwi , Hau Ipu, Kalo, Kamani, Ki, Ko, Kou, Kukui , Mai`a, Milo, and many more plants with them. These types of crops were merged in the many cultural aspects of society in the islands. The people lived a life of subsistence, growing crops in farms and fishing in the abundant ocean which is easily accessible. In the year 1778, Captain James Cook, a European voyager traveled throughout the Polynesian islands, and eventually landed on the island of Kauaʻi. At his arrival as well as other foreign peoples was the shift in Hawaiian agriculture. These new people brought new products and methods of food production. The biggest crops that arrived were: coffee, and pineapple. These crops became successful due to the rich soil and natural supply available. Workers from foreign countries including China, Portugal, Japan, and the Philippines were brought to Hawaiʻi for the sole purpose of working on the plantations. Production of goods became a huge commercial success in the islands. Farming shifted from local sustainability to production and exportation.
