Food Atlas and American Eating Habits over Last Century

This is a food and farming nerd’s dream. Check this out:

The USDA’s Food Environment Atlas

It’s an interactive map that can show you, U.S. county by U.S. county: the number of farmers markets, percentage of farmers markets, availability of grocery stores, farm-to-school programs, adult diabetes rates, childhood preschool obesity rates. It’s an incredible document. Take a look.

The USDA has also released a report tracking American eating habits over the last century.
