About Wild Food Map

Wild Food Map is an ingest-first evidence system with a browser-cached map. Taxonomy, documented use assertions, toxicity assertions, source-backed names, and provenance are normalized into a local PostGIS database; live occurrence previews are cached in the browser for the active map workflow.

WCVP-style taxonomy, Species Fungorum Plus, WoRMS-derived marine targets, and reviewed source mappings provide the name backbone. 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 location context with license and access metadata.

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