Euthenia

Euthenia was built during the NASA Space Apps Challenge in April 2015 — an interactive web application to visualize global and local food security by analyzing domestic food production, consumption, and international trading patterns.

Food security is one of the most pressing global challenges: one in nine persons suffered from chronic undernourishment during 2012–2014, and the world population is projected to reach 9.6 billion by 2050. Addressing food supply challenges requires collective action spanning land use policy, agricultural practices, consumption patterns, and trading strategies.

Euthenia provides data visualization tools that reveal insights about how countries produce and trade food resources, helping users understand patterns that could inform policy and strategic decisions.
