Description: "Documenting the geographical boundaries of where our food comes from is a discussion occurring throughout the continental U.S. and in the Pacific Territories. Albeit the geographic regions and the distances food travels in the U.S. compared to Guam are vastly different. Consider Guam's geographic isolation: it's approximately 6,000 miles west of San Francisco, 3,700 miles west-southwest of Honolulu (its closest U.S. neighbor), and situated on the Pacific Rim of Asian countries."
