For my final data visualization project, I chose to work with a data set that shows how much food countries grow. The source for my data is the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations.
I decided to work with this dataset because it was very interesting and there was a lot I could do with the data.
In my visualization, the data is represented as dots on a map based on the longitude and latitude of the country. The color of the dots shows what food the country is growing. (yellow for wheat, purple for fruit, brown for meat, green for vegetables, blue for fish, red for alcoholic drinks, cream for eggs.)
To interact with the visualization, try hovering your mouse over the points on the map this will show you the country and how many tons they produce. If you click on the map the food it is showing will change.
One interesting thing I noticed during this project is that a lot of food is produced for us all to eat and it was all from many different countries.
Something I still wonder about is how much food the countries eat.
The most challenging moment of this project was when I had to figure out how to get the food to change when you click.
My proudest moment during this project was when I got the click to work after I got it to work I could add more and more foods.
If I had more time, I would like to add even more foods to my project.
