The Food Assessment Framework will ultimately be a web-based, interactive tool that communities, regions, or state-level stakeholders could "mine" for information about certain aspects of the food system. The vision is to develop a comprehensive series of indicators, from which a community can select to best meet their needs, that provide information about the state's capacity to produce, process, and transport healthy foods. Additionally, and equally as important, the FAF will provide detailed information about where data is kept, who manages it, how to access it, how to use it and talk about it, who might care about it, and other guidance.
