About Wild Food Map

Wild Food Map is an ingest-first web map. It imports taxonomy, documented use assertions, toxicity assertions, and occurrence/location records into a local PostGIS database before rendering map layers.

WCVP-style taxonomy is the name backbone. Kew utilized-plant data can provide documented use categories such as HumanFood and Poisons. GBIF and iNaturalist via GBIF provide public occurrence evidence that appears as clusters at broad zooms and exact public pins at local zoom. Falling Fruit, OpenStreetMap, and municipal inventories provide source-attributed exact-location context with license gates.

Occurrence pins are source records, not identification, edibility, legality, access, or harvest guidance. Location-bearing records must retain source, license, attribution, and access context.
