Other Solutions

Your city has the partners.
It lacks the connection.

Dozens of reports. Hundreds of datasets. Zero real-time visibility.

Existing Data Landscape

USDA Federal Data

Terminated (2025)

The Contribution

Foundational Food Desert Maps
  • • Legacy "Food desert" maps
  • • SNAP enrollment data
  • • Historical estimates (pre-2025)

The Limitation

  • Annual reporting terminated (Sept 2025)
  • No new national hunger tracking
  • Remaining data is widely considered obsolete

"We have foundational food desert maps, but we still don't know if families are eating tonight."

EARLY TRACTION

Momentum

Every group — cities, pantries, families — is pulling us forward.
