Purpose: This multi-language dashboard is a community-centered tool designed to strengthen the South Bay Area’s regional food system. It shares interactive maps, data, community spotlights, and policy summaries on food system issues. By providing targeted resources for residents, entrepreneurs, farmers, policymakers, advocates, and researchers, the dashboard aims to foster collaborative engagement for food justice.
Based in the South Bay: The data focuses on Santa Clara County but features collaborations that stretch into San Mateo and Santa Cruz Counties. Future expansions planned.
Why now: After the COVID-19 pandemic unveiled long-standing inequities within the food system, collaboration accelerated, and the County of Santa Clara (SCC) approved the development of a food system work plan to build more resilient, sustainable agriculture and food systems.
