Food crises are growing more complex, while funding for critical data systems is falling. Today in Rome, partners launched the Intentional Data Community with support from @RockefellerFdn to strengthen existing systems and help countries act earlier.

🆕 #Blog When Crises Disappear from View: The Growing Humanitarian Data Drought
🖊️ By @CreoleBauer and @swomamo
Humanitarian data systems are shrinking. Without fresh data, people in crisis become harder to see, harder to reach, and all too easy to overlook.

After 7 years as a geospatial data scientist, I quit my job.
I'm going all in to tell you stories hidden in satellite data
I've worked on cocoa and coffee supply chain monitoring, near real time flood maps with radar satellites that see through clouds, mapped trees in 3D to prevent wildfires and built pipelines that analyse crop yields at the scale of the US
But I've always kept going back to telling stories
I've done 70+ interviews of data scientists, CEOs, engineers, policy makers and artists all trying to better understand the impact of data, maps & satellites images in our lives
I've made videos seen by hundreds of thousands of people on how satellite & maps work.
So now I'm going all in
I believe the worlds need more people telling stories, of people; that statistics and data changes the world, but people and stories are what resonate.
A few weeks ago I already put a video out with @OurRadiantEarth about millions of people being miscounted in Argentina. One of the largest press outlets picked the story up, and now there's a conversation about this problem, that's what I want to go do
This is probably the scariest thing I've ever done in my life, but I'm also really excited about it
If you're a company doing cool, impactful stuff with satellite images, geospatial & data and can't get the world to pay attention, let's work together.
I have some cool stories coming up and some collaborations in the pipes.
So, if that sounds cool, I'll see you around on the internets

Près de 3 460 tonnes de produits locaux achetées auprès d’agriculteurs 🇭🇹 et livrées aux écoles entre sept 2025 et août 2026, soit l’équivalent de plus de 1 700 tap-taps remplis de denrées!
Grâce au projet PARSA, exécuté par le @MAgricultureHT et financé par la @Banquemondiale!

The challenge isn't just collecting more #data.
It's turning insight into earlier action, smarter decisions, and better outcomes for people facing hunger, displacement, conflict and climate shocks.

A pleasure to reconnect with @CreoleBauer, Director for Food Security and Nutrition Analysis at @WFP. Our discussions reaffirmed the importance of the MoU between @CIMMYT and WFP as a platform to strengthen food security and resilience in the communities that need it most.
