FOOD SOVEREIGNTY

GuVo Village is located in the Sonoran Desert of southwest Arizona, on the Tohono O'odham Reservation along the Mexico border. The Reservation, which is roughly the size of Connecticut, and Village are very isolated and painfully food deprived, with the nearest grocery store an hour drive away. The majority of the residents live well below the poverty level, and few have access to transportation. This makes already inaccessible food even more unattainable for GuVo community members.
