Learn where our food comes from and how we eat it on the California Department of Food and Agriculture’s 40 maps that explain food in America. The maps, charts, and graphs supply an assortment of information about our food supply varying from which crops are harvested where, to a map that lets you watch corn eat sunlight from space.
