Appendix(I:(VUE(Maps!The relational “maps” presented in this appendix were prepared by Philip Mount, working with Peter Andrée. They were created using Visual Understanding Environment (VUE) – an open access software developed by Tufts University (http://vue.tufts.edu/). The purpose of these diagrams is to help demonstrate the different assets, resources and capacities of the case study organizations highlighted in this report, and to show the linkages between various actors, including decision-makers and funders, among others. The case study maps included in this appendix represent the following 19 case study organizations11:

1. Eat Local Sudbury (ELS) 2. Food Security Research Network (FSRN) 3. La Maison Verte 4. True North Community Cooperative 5. Northern Ontario Health Units 6. Eastern Ontario Local Food Co-op 7. Food Down the Road 8. Just Food Ottawa 9. Lanark Local Flavours 10. Wendy’s Country Market and Mobile Market 11. Grand River Community Health Centre (GRCHC) 12. Good Food Box Network 13. Plan B Organic Farm 14. Everdale Organic Farm and Environmental Learning Centre 15. Waterloo Region Neighbourhood Market Initiative 16. Herrle’s Country Farm Market 17. Spring Arbour Farm 18. Western Fair Farmers’ Market 19. Local Organic Food Co-ops (LOFC)

11 Because it was added as a case study at a later date, a relational map of FoodShare is not included in this report.
