Welcome to Aerozona!

Building a Resilient Food System for Desert Communities

AeroZona is building a community-powered model for growing fresh food in rural Arizona using water-smart agriculture, education, and local partnerships.

Local

AeroZona strengthens local food systems by producing fresh, healthy food within rural desert communities, reducing dependence on distant supply chains.

Water Smart

Using aeroponic and hydroponic growing systems, AeroZona demonstrates how food can be produced with dramatically less water than traditional farming.

Community

Through education, volunteer programs, and partnerships with community organizations, AeroZona ensures fresh food reaches the people who need it most.

Partnership

AeroZona collaborates with nonprofits, schools, researchers, and local leaders to build a resilient food system for the region.

A Food Desert in the Desert

We are changing the way we approach food systems in the desert

La Paz County sits in the Sonoran Desert where fresh food is limited, traditional agriculture requires large amounts of water, many residents must travel long distances for produce, rural communities are vulnerable to supply disruptions. The result is a fragile local food system.

Our Food Systems Model

AeroZona strengthens local food systems through a distributed farming approach that brings food production closer to the community. Instead of relying on one large farm, the model includes demonstration farms, community gardens, partner growing sites, and community farm centers that together create a network of local food production.
