Guahan Sustainable Culture is creating Guam's first community-governed Food Resiliency Hub on 50 acres of vital farmland. Our island faces intensifying typhoons and flooding, while military expansion threatens our watersheds and agricultural lands. Through community support, we've made an initial deposit to protect this land, but must continue fundraising to secure it permanently.
Guam faces a critical food security crisis. With 90% of our food imported and farmland rapidly being lost to military development, our 170,000 residents are vulnerable to supply disruptions and rising costs. Local farmers struggle to find land while families pay 2-3 times mainland prices for groceries. By securing Hamamoto Gardens as a permanent Food Resiliency Hub, we'll provide farmland access, training facilities, and increase food security for generations.
Guam needs secure agricultural land to build food sovereignty. By converting Hamamoto Gardens into a community-governed Food Resiliency Hub, we'll protect 50 acres of vital farmland from military development. This permanent space will provide land access for farmers, host agricultural training programs, offer food processing facilities, and serve as a model for community-led food security. Through workshops, farmer support programs, and youth education, we'll strengthen local food production.
Securing Hamamoto Gardens as a permanent Food Resiliency Hub will transform Guam's food security for generations. By protecting 50 acres of farmland from development and establishing Guam's first community-governed agricultural land trust, we'll ensure lasting land access for local farmers. This hub will serve our entire population of 170,000 residents through increased local food production, reduced dependency on imports, and preserved agricultural knowledge for future generations.
