From Farm to Table: Prioritizing Local Food

ByShaye Morrison November 17, 2022June 7, 2023

In our November SparkMap Webinar, we explore locating and purchasing local food. Using cropland, harvest, and farmer’s market data layers, we help you discover the crops grown in your area, what historical harvest levels look like, and where to procure these crops at local farmer’s markets near you. Further, using specialized SparkMap tools, we are able to highlight farmer’s markets that accept SNAP, to provide healthy local food for all.
