The Food Miles Map is Coming...

In response to a class project here at Rice and some student interest, we have commissioned a Google map which will outline where our ingredients are coming from and the distance they travel to Houston. There are several purposes in mind... We want to know where all 500+ raw ingredients are coming from and if we can then negotiate with our suppliers to source closer to Houston. Although we could have done this behind the scenes, we felt that an open an honest approach to our sources is beneficial so that students could possibly help us in this endeavor. Here is a sneak peak at what will be coming... The data represented is not accurate nor even close to the final project data. This is simply a mock up... Enjoy...
