In a study of seed stock available in 1903 versus that available in 1983, the Rural Advancement Foundation International found that we have lost nearly 93% of lettuce varieties, over 96% of sweet corn, about 96% of field corn, more than 95% of tomato, and almost 98% of asparagus.

The goal of the foodroutes.org website, in collaboration with communityfood.com, is to provide timely information, resources and market opportunities for the food and farming community, community-based nonprofits, the food concerned public, policy makers and the media. FoodRoutes Network (FRN) is also working with Ocean Group, developers of the foodroutes.org and localharvest.org web sites, to develop a county-level mapping technology that will allow groups to build local markets by integrating online foodshed level farm and business directories into their websites.
