Throughout the Metro-Atlanta Cities Wellbeing Initiative, the city of College Park focused on addressing food insecurity. Participants in College Park recognized the importance of visualizing the impact of food insecurity by identifying the presence of food deserts. By effectively illustrating the issue of food deserts through data visualization, they developed an action plan and potential interventions to tackle food insecurity both in the short and long term.
