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. Read the press release here: on.cgiar.org/4z6YGQr The IFPRI analysis by Chris Hillbruner, @ruthvargashill, Brian McNamara, and Zoe Scott conducted as part of the VITAL Data initiative is available here: hdl.handle.net/10568/186068 @CGIAR @WorldBankGroup @FAO @WFP @UNICEF @SUN_Movement @EU_Commission @fightfoodcrises @AKADEMIYA2063 @Google

🆕 #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. Read more: on.cgiar.org/489j2fM @CGIAR @WFP @IFPRI_Africa

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

Plenty of #wheat. Not enough ways to ship it. Our latest September export estimates, cited by the WSJ: Russia: 2.1 mmt −56% YoY Ukraine: 0.9 mmt −52% YoY The Black Sea bottleneck is hitting both major wheat exporters at once. Link is attached below. #wheat #BlackSea #oatt

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.
