The Healthy Futures Challenge aims to promote food sovereignty on Guam by encouraging residents to grow their own produce to help lessen their reliance on imported foods while, at the same time, nurturing healthier lifestyles.
The Healthy Futures Challenge will engage up to 50 community members in a series of gardening and food preparation workshops with materials provided to cultivate a variety of fruit and vegetable plants.
Participants will receive guidance from our AmeriCorps GSC team at every step of the growing process including sowing and saving seeds, transplanting, applying fertilizers and natural pesticides, harvesting, composting, and maintenance.
