Gleaning on Windows Pc

Gleaning is an interactive map of current and historic sources of food. It is a resource for information on public food sources, food production and circulation, historic points of interest related to agriculture and the food industry, community stories about food, and notes about the natural environment.

The project is largely built through images and text by neighourhood residents and users. In its first stage, Gleaning focuses on the Marpole neighbourhood of Vancouver, a now-residential area that was once farmland, and before that important within First Nations trade.

The map sorts this information into layers that may be turned on and off:
• Public Food: food trees and edible plantings in public spaces, berry patches, fishing spots, etc.
• Community: shared food-based resources, such as community gardens, soup kitchens, food-related neighbourhood services, and water sources.
• History: historical information about agriculture, trade, hunting, and gathering.
• Environment: information about the natural environment, geography and geology of the area.

By registering, users may save their favourite markers and contribute to the map.

Gleaning, a project conceived by Germaine Koh, has been commissioned by Emily Carr University of Art + Design, funded in part by a Mitacs Accelerate Internship Grant in conjunction with the research project chART: Public Art Marpole. This research is supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council and the GRAND research network. Visual design: Maia Rowan. Programming: Daniel Conde.

How To Contribute:
Gleaning is built from information and images provided by the public. You can either add information to existing maps markers, or create new ones.
Begin by registering and logging in via email, Facebook or Google. The user icon is in the top menu bar.

Adding to an existing marker
If you have additional information to contribute to an existing marker, use the "Add info" button at the bottom when viewing that page. You can then select and image and/or enter text. Your information will be sent to a moderator for approval.

Adding a new marker
When possible, try to add to an existing marker instead of creating a new one.
Markers should be geographically located as accurately as possible. If your item is not a place -- for example, an event or community group -- place it in an appropriate starting-point, meeting spot, or headquarters.
1. Zoom in to the map to get a precise location, and press the "+" button to place the marker.
2. An information screen will prompt you for a title and short description of the marker, and ask what kind of location it is (Historical, Food Source, Community, or Environment). Then you may enter a longer descriptive text and/or upload an image from your mobile.
3. Your marker will be submitted for approval.
