This document outlines a session on accessing food data and tools to support collaborative policy decisions. The session will demonstrate web-based mapping and reporting tools that overlay over 7,000 national data layers to tell the story of local food systems. Attendees will learn how other states are developing similar tools and identify how mapping and reporting can support collaboration and policy dialogue. The session will include an introduction to the CARES data platform, an overview of Colorado's food assessment framework, and breakout discussions on using data to understand and address food access issues.

- 1. Accessing and Using Food Data to Support Collaborative Policy DecisionsCenter for Applied Research and Environmental Systems (CARES) - Columbia, MOCenter for Systems Integration - Denver, COCommunity Initiatives - Columbia, MOWPM Consulting - Boulder, COLiveWell Colorado - Denver, CO
- 2. Session GoalsDemonstrate web based interactive mapping and reporting tools – accessing over 7000 publically available national source data layersLearn how other states are developing tools to arm both the state and communities to better understand the story of their food systemIdentify ways that mapping and reporting can be used to support collaboration and advance policy dialogueDiscuss what else we need to advance our efforts!
- 3. Session OverviewGroup IntroductionsIntroduction to CARES CARES data management platformsOverview of the Colorado Food Assessment FrameworkFood Security, Resiliency & Access ModuleBreak-Out DiscussionsExplore how and why to use data to understand and address issues of food accessGroup DiscussionHow are the tools working? What else might advance your work?

Interactive MappingOverlaying Local and National DataPoints – hospitals, social servicesAreas– neighborhoods, cities, countiesLines – Roads, paths, trails Networks – Public transportationImagery – Satellite, Aerial imagesSpatial Analysis – Proximity, bufferMapping is a representation of the real world…We may tell a better story by overlaying more data…

- 6. CARES Core Engine: Public Good MappingAll public data from all CARES contracts are housed in one national “Commons” Engine to benefit all communities
- 7. Multiple Levels of Geography…CARES provides free access to the CARES Mapping Engine
- 9. Compare Across Multiple Regions
- 10. Report OutputCARES provides free access to the CARES Reporting Engine
- 11. Custom Application Components:National Collaborative Management Systems (NCMS)
- 12. National Collaborative Management SystemsAre Built on the Public Good Engine
- 13. An Example NCMSWhat is Community Issues Management (CIM)?CIM is a powerful web-based collaborative management system to help organizations, networks, and community partnerships enhance collaborative decision-making and action
- 14. Why a Collaborative Tool?complex issues, complex data, limited resourcesengagement of multiple citizens, partners, organizations
- 15. Issue NotebookManage local collaborative - issue description, contact information,keywords, etc…

- 18. Three Ways to Integrate Local and Regional DataAutomated Upload of GIS Data LayersAutomated Upload of Tabular Data Existing geography (State, County, City, ZIP Code)Address matching (Geocoding Addresses)Map coordinates (latitude and longitude)You Add Tool - Draw an Area, Point or Line
- 19. 2. Tabular Data UploadAugment local and regional GIS and IT capacity
- 20. 3. You Add Tool - Draw an AreaAdd Attributes about the Area

- 22. CO Food Assessment FrameworkSponsored by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, ARRA grant number FOA#90101ARRA09Partnership between LiveWell Colorado and food systems consultantsOne of several goals to advance healthy food systems and farm to school efforts in CO
- 23. Goals of the CO FAF:Identify and collect existing food systems indicators across food production, processing, distribution, and accessIdentify and collect existing community food assessment tools, data, and lessons learned from across ColoradoIdentify and propose an interactive, on-line data management system that includes comprehensive indicators, highlights community data and learning, and facilitates peer networkingTrack the health of the state’s food system over timeCO Food Assessment Framework
- 26. Break-Out ProcessWorksheet: Define a hypothetical goal and focusReview Included IndicatorsDiscuss what data helps address your questionTake note of what is missing
- 27. Group Work: Exploring the ToolsUsing the Tool:What data is available to address your issue?What does it tell us? What reports and maps can you create? What indicators might be missing?Other Discussion:Would such a national platform support your work?Would you use it? Who would?What would facilitate you using it?
