200+ tons of waste diverted from the landfill.
200+ participants.
Countless new habits.

That’s the impact of our Composting in Every Village program to date.

In partnership with Guam EPA, we’re helping households across Guåhan make composting a part of everyday life while reducing waste, changing habits, and protecting our island’s resources.

And there’s still time to join us!

Our final workshop of the year is September 5th and seats are limited!

Visit our booth at the Yoña Cultural Festival this Saturday & Sunday, Aug 29 & 30 at Tagachang Beach in Yoña to register.

Participants receive a free produce bin, kitchen pail, resources and support to help you succeed, and a free box of local produce every month when you submit your weekly data.

Saina Ma’åse’ to our incredible program coordinators and to every participant who has taken part in this work. You’re helping make a more sustainable Guåhan, one household at a time.

Come compost with us. 🌱

Mark your calendars! 👨🏾‍🌾🌱🗓️

The Agriculture Symposium returns for a 3rd year on October 30th 2026 at Hotel Nikko Guam. This year's Agricultural Symposium is focused on connecting our community of partners in the sustainable agricultural space to find actionable solutions together. With Guam's heavy reliance on imported food, we feel every vulnerability from delayed distribution channels, recalled produce, and increasingly frequent natural disasters. But proven time and time again, we are resilient people.

Participants will explore new ideas for collaboration like building cooperatives, engaging with grassroots organizations, and working together to determine the future direction of sustainable agriculture on Guåhan. We'll see you there!

It is with a heavy heart and profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved team member, Joseph John Campos, whom we all lovingly knew as “Joe.”

He worked in agricultural services for over a decade, and was instrumental in developing food security on Guam as he sowed seeds in different capacities. He was a 4x champion of the “hottest pepper” award at Donne’ Festival. He was a beloved son, brother, and uncle, cousin, and nephew.

To us, he was a wonderful friend and teammate and one of the hardest workers we ever met. To know Joe was to know humility, and he always found a way to get even the toughest jobs done. We will deeply miss his easy-going nature, his laughs, and his dedication to stewarding the land with care.

We ask that you join all of us at GSC in holding the Campos family in your hearts and prayers at this difficult time. Diskånsa gi pås, Jose. En guaiya hao, che’lu.

We wrapped up this season of Ginen i Halom Tåno' with a celebration at May Harvest, and what a season it's been! Since October, the program has trained 32 hunters in safe and ethical hunting, paired 19 of them with 9 volunteer mentors for guided hunts, and harvested over 700 lbs of wild pig, turning Guam's invasive feral pig problem into a source of food security and a living connection to CHamoru tradition. 🐗🌿

A special thanks to the Guam Department of Agriculture's Division of Aquatic and Wildlife Resources (DAWR) Your Guam Department of Agriculture, DAWR and First Nations Development Institute First Nations Development Inst for making this program possible, and to our volunteer instructors and mentors and the GSC staff who helped make this celebration a huge success. Saina Ma'åse!

Lina'la' Roots Club is back 🥳 join our FREE Summer School Program at Guåhan Sustainable Culture's Food Resiliency Hub (former Hamamoto Gardens) in Yona, Monday to Friday from 8 am - 5:00 pm for incoming 6th to 8th-grade students. Limited slots available!

The program runs from June 3- 26th

Students will dive into hands-on, culturally rooted activities that ignite their connection to the land and to one another.

Guided by cultural practitioners, participants will steward a garden—planting, tending, and harvesting their own food and amot (Chamorro/CHamoru medicine) . They’ll get their hands dirty, cook vibrant, nourishing dishes, and experience the power of fresh, local ingredients from soil to table.

Along the way, students will explore cultural arts, history, and language, deepening their sense of identity and strengthening their connection to the traditions that shape our island.

Through this program, we’re empowering the next generation to take charge of their food systems and cultivate a healthier, more resilient future for our island!
