Now available on our new user-friendly Green Map Platform: a shared set of Local Food Icons! Key to engaging rural and low-income communities in making maps that contribute to secure, healthy, informed communities, the process brings people together to visualize assets and issues while promoting local farmers markets, food banks, community gardens, food security, enterprises and education. Help us expand training and tools to support underserved communities, rural and urban, through food mapping
Green Map tools have been used in 65 countries. At COP26, our team determined we must do more to engage BIPOC and other communities impacted by climate and social disparities. Our mapping platform was designed to spur collaboration and empower those new to technology, so Mapmakers gain agency to make new visions of home that are pertinent and inspiring for their own communities. Charting local food offers a pathway to climate and social resilience, thriving and sustainable community development.
Launching soon at GreenMap.org, the first 100 Green Maps are already on this free to use Platform. Your support will improve our outreach and support free training and resources in a dozen under-represented communities in 2024. Help build skills, networks and knowledge to directly counter climate change and enable a wider variety of community-building and sustainability initiatives. Food is the gateway: seeing the breadth of activity nearby is valuable for rural and frontline communities alike.
Beyond the 12 select local projects you'll help us train, this work has many other beneficiaries as each mapped site will be recognized as part of a local movement for food security and wellbeing. Your support is especially valuable in these uncertain times, as our Platform extends best mapping practices and our newly created training resources to more places, locally and globally. Your donation does even more as many Green Mapmakers use their new skills as springboards to green jobs and careers
