Story created by Green Map System on April 7, 2021

Good News! Green Map has extended its globally recognized iconography to promote local food, regenerative agriculture, sufficiency and climate health.
The Local Food Icon set is now complete!

Here is the Chart of the whole set of Local Food Icons and some of the first Green Maps that utilize these icons.

Our thanks to all who commented, contributed and led the way since we posted the draft version of this set. We see food as a gateway to participation, and hope these icons will make powerful connections in your community.

When you use these Local Food Icons on our new mapping Platform, you can also select the original co-designed set of Green Map Icons for your Green Map or other sets like the United Nations SDGs, our 2020 Recovery set, etc. 

 

Now everyone can use these icons to support local food with their interactive Green Maps! Check out great work by FEED JeffCo and the Food Bank Growers on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State, Fruit Trees in Fife UK, and, in print, the Iceland Sustainable Food Green Map (it's below). 

 

These open source icons can be used on print maps, signage, social media and other non-commercial ways to help people eat well, support local farmers and contribute to a healthier region.

We’re using them on Instagram, Linked In, Twitter, Facebook, and more - follow us there and we’ll post new editions, including one for NYC, as they become available.
