Urban Agriculture Across New York City

Mapping Agricultural Production in New York City (M.A.P. NYC) is an interactive map showcasing food production in the city. The map not only points out farm and garden locations, but also provides information on food production and distribution, technologies, labor, services to the community, and other information. M.A.P. NYC is crowdsourced, meaning that each entry is editable by growers themselves. To learn more, visit M.A.P. NYC.
