Update Your Listings
If you are already a Maine Food Atlas user, then thank you! You may have noticed that we’ve made some changes around here.
As part of the new design of the Atlas, the Food System Categories have been significantly updated. You can now tag many more kinds of vegetables, fruits, grains, herbs, and animal products for listings. There are also new categories under Local Food Outlets, Food Access and Nutrition, and Education. In addition, there are many new “features” and “certifications’ you can select to describe what you do, such as “offers Maine Harvest Bucks” and “MOFGA certified organic”.
Login, edit your locations, and check out all the new features.
Map Your Local Food System
Communities all around Maine are coming together to map their local food assets on the Maine Food Atlas. One of the Atlas’ key partners, the Maine Network of Community Food Councils, is helping regional food councils around the state mobilize to do just this kind of work.
Part of the power of the Atlas comes from the fact that anyone can add locations to the map. We love to have businesses and organizations put themselves on the map, but we also welcome individuals and groups to put their neighbors, member locations, and community resources into the Atlas as a first step.
There are many creative ways to go about mapping your food system. One of our favorites is called a “mapathon.” To learn more about how you or your organization can use the Atlas to host a mapathon, check out the Maine Food Atlas Mapathon FAQ .
