Why map joy in the food system?
This project is designed to give proof and possibility:
Proof of the many people and projects that are making a positive difference, and how they are imperative to creating a just and equitable food system. Proof of impact and the importance of funding resilient food system projects.
Possibility of the nourishment we can create when we connect individual projects in a network. Possibility of what can come from supportive policy, funding, attention, and care.
Please contribute to this public map by sharing your joy! It could be a quick moment, a life-changing meal, a celebration of soil and community, an individual or community project. By sharing a story to populate this map, you amplify the experiences of connection and delight that support and motivate relationships with the land and each other.
