Community Food Navigator

About this app

The Community Food Navigator app connects food growers, organizers, and advocates to strengthen the network of those working to build and sustain community-driven solutions to nourish our communities. Here we have the chance to hold a collaborative space centered on the perspectives of Black, Brown, and Indigenous local food growers, producers, organizers, mobilizers, educators and allies. We work in the spirit of collective care towards food sovereignty, opportunity, sustainability and circularity. Connections already exist, others are waiting to happen. This app makes it easier to find people, share resources, wisdom, knowledge, and engage in conversations to learn from each other and collaborate. • Add to the collective voice. Join the Community Food Navigator. • In the Community section: Foster new connections by finding people, joining or creating an interest or organizational group, and sharing events. • In the Directory: Find or share information in your neighborhood and across Chicago about people and organizations that are growing food, offering resources that support growing, getting locally grown and produced food to people to eat, or offering wisdom and knowledge that supports local food growing, mobilizing and people’s connection to food growing and preparation. • In the Library: Find or share information supportive to growers in their practice. • In Messages: Start conversations, make new connections and cultivate relationships in a click.

Momentum comes from crawler snapshots for the tracked storefront. “Viral growth signal” means unusually fast recent rating gains; it is an indicator, not download data.
