Understanding Risks and Vulnerabilities via Food Systems Dashboards

That’s the topic of a recent presentation I gave for the College of Agriculture at Purdue just before the Holiday break.

I talked about several new dashboards we’re developing at the Center for Food Demand Analysis and Sustainability. One such dashboard is described here, and it is based on the paper Ahmad Wahdat and I wrote on describing vulnerabilities to different input supplier segments. Ideally, this would be done at a plant-level, but given limited data available, we look at diversity in suppliers to different food processing sectors at the state level. Feel free to play around with the dashboard yourself.

Here’s a video of me walking through the dashboard.
