# Food Web Maps

> Food Web Maps is an interactive map application for exploring local food places — kitchens, farms, markets, restaurants, and more — with saved maps, embeddable views, and subscription tiers for power users.

Food Web Maps (maps.foodweb.network) is a standalone Next.js application focused on geographic discovery of the local food network. Unlike the main marketplace site, this app centers on the **map experience**: browsing entities by viewport, filtering by category, creating custom saved maps, sharing embeddable map views on third-party sites, and managing map subscriptions. It shares authentication with the broader Food Web platform (Firebase Auth) and reads entity data from the Platform API. The app is designed for researchers, community organizations, journalists, and food-system builders who need a visual, explorable view of food infrastructure in a region.
