Mapping Food Security in Black Hawk County - Lisa Swanson

Lisa Swanson (Black Hawk County Health Officer) will provided an expanded version of a presentation given as part of the GIS Project Showcase during the last GIS Day event. In March of 2005, the group received grant funds from the Iowa Department of Public Health to study hunger and food security as it specifically relates to Nutrition Education in Black Hawk County. The group soon came up with the idea to map the data from all of the participating agencies to move towards their goals. The Alliance contracted with Black Hawk County Health Department for a health officer with a GIS background to help with the project and the mapping began!
