The
Community Nutrition Mapping Project (CNMap) developed by
the ARS Community Nutrition Research Group (CNRG) in Beltsville,
Md, is an online resource for checking a state's nutritional
health. It includes information on nutrient intakes, physical
activity and body weight, healthy eating patterns and food security.
The resource tool provides a series of easy-to-read tables and
color-coded customized maps that can be accessed by anyone on
the World Wide Web. Nutritionists, policy makers and public
health workers at community, county, state and national levels
can create profiles in CNMap to gauge whether a community is
at risk for food security or other nutritional problems.
