Food Asset Maps in Saskatchewan
What are Food Asset Maps?
Food assets are places where people can grow, prepare, share, buy, receive or learn about food, food practices, food culture and food systems.
Food Asset Maps are designed to:
- help find places in the community that offer free and low-cost food.
- help find food assets like grocery stores, cultural food stores, community gardens and cooking programs.
- make it easier for community partners and service providers to locate and share food resources with others.
- help identify strengths and gaps in terms of available food assets, where they are located, and to help community leaders use food assets strategically.
The maps linked below highlight food assets located in several Saskatchewan communities along with promotion and instructional materials.
