This needs and opportunities landscape report illustrates an array of assets and barriers to community-led food transformation within the API Communities within San Francisco.

As part of this study, an interactive food asset map was created to identify a total of 2,915 food establishments across all of San Francisco, including corner stores/convenience stories, drug stories, farmers markets, food banks, pantries, food pharmacies, free prepared food or hot meals, international grocery stores, liquor stores, restaurants, fast food restaurants, and grocery stores.

One-third (33%, N=963) of these establishments were located in the nine API priority neighborhoods, including Bayview, Chinatown, Excelsior, Japantown, Richmond, SOMA, Sunset, Tenderloin, and Visitacion Valley.

However, these assets are not equally distributed across neighborhoods.
