Food Justice offers a reactionary approach to empower a person and communities’ rights to fresh and healthy affordable food. The Potawot Community Garden not only embraces this approach, but goes further through decolonial practices. In addition, the process of growing an cultivating one’s own food is shown to help heal certain varieties of trauma. Potawot offers its community a unique opportunity by providing fresh, local, and organic produce to local tribes in the greater Humboldt area. Furthermore, Potawot displays a primary example of promoting food justice by promoting justice for indigenous and native peoples by providing access to education and growing one's own food.
