Bite the Talk Episode 26: The Global Food Systems Dashboard
In this episode, host Mark Gachagua speaks with Dr. Jessica Fanzo (Columbia University) and Dr. Ty Beal (GAIN) about the Global Food Systems Dashboard. They explain it was created to solve the problem of scattered and complex food data by consolidating information from over 40 sources into one user-friendly, visually appealing platform. Described as a "map of your food system from farm to fork," the dashboard provides a comprehensive overview of everything from agricultural production to health, environment, and livelihood outcomes.
The dashboard is a vital tool for a wide range of users, including major organizations like the FAO, governments, and educators. A key feature is the development of subnational dashboards in countries like Kenya, Nigeria, and Pakistan, which provide localized data to inform policy.
Future plans for the dashboard are ambitious and include integrating AI-powered natural language queries, adding climate change projections to anticipate future impacts on food security, and launching more country-specific dashboards. The ultimate goal is to empower decision-makers with the data they need to drive global food systems transformation.
