Food for Thought

Your challenge is to consider the journey of food to your plate, determine how disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic are affecting the food supply locally and globally, and propose solutions to address these issues.

No Starving.

Summary

Space-based Earth observations and remotely sensed data can provide information about conditions on the ground that may affect food supply chains and food security. For example, the data can allow you to assess precipitation, soil moisture, groundwater, land cover, water stress, changes in agricultural food production systems, energy consumption, and other associated changes caused by the response to COVID-19.The challenge is to consider the journey of food to your plate, determine how disrup.

How We Addressed This Challenge

As our team took all the considerations while working such as How is COVID impacting planting, harvesting, processing, and distribution of crops and livestock products across the world? What about fisheries? This challenge is not limited to food production on land.

Are there significant regional impacts (e.g. if a resource or activity is limited in a region, interruptions or closures can have large regional impacts on farmers and consumers)?

Consider an overlay of COVID incidents, workforce data, key farms, and/or livestock plants and distribution areas to show (geospatially) areas of risk to the food supply. and so on

How We Developed This Project

What made my team choose this project is this a specific problem that may face the countries in africa espicially.
