The Data to Support a Thriving and Informed Local and Regional Food Sector site was developed to support the utilization of data in program evaluation and decision making and improve access to data from an array of sources.
This project provides open-access tools and data to illustrate areas of need and opportunities to close equity gaps related to nutrition, food access, food system labor, and agriculture and food business ownership.
The site includes the Food Systems Data Equity Framework, a Data Warehouse, the Food and Agriculture Mapper and Explorer (FAME) tool, and Stories from the Field.
