The academic offices may be in Berkeley, but most of the members of the Guerrilla Cartographer's team profiled on WGBH's The Salt on Wednesday for their work on "Food: An Atlas, are from Oakland."  

Cartographers and geographers Darin Jensen and Molly Roy are the book's co-editors, but many of the team who have been working for five months to collect and organize a book presenting maps about food systems are Oakland residents. Among those involved: book designer and East Oakland resident Querido Galdo, editorial panel member Temra Costa Fisher and Ingrid Seyer-Ochi, another editorial panel member.

What's this team of Oaklanders doing that got the attention of a public radio station on the other side of the country? Building an anthology of international maps focused on food systems, data and access.

Their project is a collaborative, volunteer effort and all proceeds will go to support food justice and food security causes, according to their fully-funded Kickstarter campaign.
