Barbara Eiswerth

Barbara Eiswerth has been solving issues of hunger and assimilation for refugees in her home city of Tuscon, Arizona. She has created a network of people to harvest fruit from private gardens to feed thousands with nutritious food.

The Iskash*taa Refugee Harvesting Network uses GPS software set in place by Eiswerth (who has a PhD from the University of Arizona in Arid Lands management) to map the available fruit trees in the Tucson area, while tracking the 12-month harvest cycle. This project has become a model for food banks around the country.
