An Atlas is a collection of over 60 maps (and growing!) co-created by the guerilla cartographer community, a loose band of people who are passionate about food and geography.
The Atlas endeavours to map food in its myriad contexts and conditions at all scales of research and geography. It fuses traditional cartography, poster art, info graphic, and map as narrative in its exploration of the geography of food.
The atlas has chapters on food production, food distribution, food security and cuisine. And there are smaller chapters of conceptual food maps and even a kids’ chapter for the youngest kick starters to begin their exploration and relationship with the world of food. The calibre of scholarship and artistry invested in these maps is impressive – they are informative and thought provoking, they are beautiful and they give
shape to the world of food.
Contributors to this project include more than 100 volunteer researchers and cartographers collaborating in teams across 10 US states and several countries spanning North and South America and Europe, a volunteer editorial panel, a volunteer kick starter team, and you.
