The Wisconsin Food Security Project provides localized information about the food security infrastructure in Wisconsin. The project promotes food security by helping planners and policymakers identify strengths and gaps in their communities, and by helping service providers and individuals and families to locate food-related resources. Community planners can use this website to learn about the components of food security--including economic security, the food environment, federal food assistance programs, and emergency food programs. Individuals, families, and service providers can use this website to learn about where food programs are located--including summer meal programs for children, farmers markets, food pantries, and more.
