Local Foods Mapping Project

The first project of the NEW Food Forum was the Local Foods Mapping Project with Extension Brown County, which resulted in the NEW Food Access Map, published in 2019 and updated and expanded by UW-Madison Extension Brown County in 2024.

NEW Food Forum is a dedicated and engaged group of organizations, institutions, and businesses who want to see a shift in our community to support a resilient, sustainable and equitable local food system. 

Below are graphic models of the Northeast Wisconsin food system supply chain data from 2019 survey. NEW Food Forum’s next project is to expand and update this 2019 information and the current 2024 NEW Food Access Map to better understand and enhance the local food system.

Local Foods Graphics
These graphics illustrate the representation of businesses and organizations in our northeast Wisconsin local foods supply chain.
The PURPOSE of the Local Foods Mapping Project is to connect people and organizations who grow and make food locally with those who use, sell, need and want it, in our local economy.  This is an open resource for any who may find it valuable. It is an evolving tool that will continue to be updated.
