Anybody interested in writing something up with me?  I'd love to do a 
neighborhood level food map and education program.

>  How Would You Make Our Food System More Awesome? Our current food system is 
>decidedly not awesome: it subsidizes food that makes us sick and makes it 
>difficult to get ahold of anything fresh. But a micro-grant foundation, 
>called Awesome Food, that launched last week is trying to make it better. 
>Starting next month, it intends to give out $1,000 per month to “further food 
>awesomeness in the universe.” If you get your application in by August 5, you 
>could be the winner of the first round of money.
>According to the website, the “no-strings attached grant” could fund a variety 
>of projects—everything from “educating the public about DIY farming” to 
>“creating an ad-hoc eatery in a subway car."
>"We’re not entirely sure what ideas we’ll get—that’s part of the fun of this!” 
>said Jeff Potter, a food writer and foundation trustee. “But we’ll know 
>awesomeness when we see it.”
>Awesome Food is a chapter of the worldwide Awesome Foundation, a microgrant 
>funder that launched in Boston two years ago and now includes chapters in cities 
>around the world. (The food chapter is the first issue-based one). Awesome 
>Food’s board of trustees includes an all-star set of foodies including Dan 
>Barber of Blue Hill Farms in New York and food journalist Jennifer 8. Lee. 
>They've set a high bar for awesomeness, so step up your game. According to Lee, 
>they've already received a bunch of great applications.
