We're working on food related mapping projects and mapping guides ... mapping farmers markets, agricultural areas in developed and developing countries, food pantries. More details on <a href="http://osmgeoweek.org/" style="color:blue;margin:0px;padding:0px;outline:none;background:transparent" target="_blank">http://osmgeoweek.org/</a>. And we'll be launching the first version of <a href="http://teachosm.org/" style="color:blue;margin:0px;padding:0px;outline:none;background:transparent" target="_blank">http://teachosm.org/</a> (still in development), guides for bringing OSM into the classroom.
