Food Insecurity

The following Food Insecurities maps are a result of Professor Sally Causey’s Service-Learning courses that looked at sustainable agriculture and community food security.

Students surveyed community members in line for the Food Commodities distribution to see where they lived. These addresses were plotted in relation to the grocery and convenience stores. Through this and other research Rural Resources was able to begin a Mobile Farmer's Market as part of a USDA grant to serve areas that do not have access to fresh fruits and vegetables.

Map 1 shows these locations in addition to census population data and nearby roads.
Map 2 shows only the stores and addresses.
