The US government has neglected Native agriculture systems, so Indigenous communities are organizing their own food hubs

On the Hopi reservation in the high desert of northern Arizona, construction is underway. A dilapidated auto garage is being converted into a fully-equipped kitchen, food storage areas, dining room and an attached greenhouse. The new facilities will become the first-ever Hopi-region food hub, used to increase Indigenous access to fresh, healthy and affordable food through farm shares, farmer’s markets, agricultural workshops, seed sharing, cooking lessons and other programs.
