Ronberg Terminal: International Food Price Index and News

• 

  visualizations and dashboard

Inspiration

We wanted to use data for a social good but first we need to identify problem areas to begin defining the problem. Technology is one avenue we can take. A price-index chart identifies top MoM price changes, which we have grouped into times of severity. Context about these events are generated by Gemini API, connections are visualized in a knowledge web/mathematical graph, where each node includes a live link to relevant sources for additional news and information via Custom Search API.

This project fulfills UN SGD goals by providing a convenient news terminal that aggregates information, provides context, as well as connections to other events. This provides a complete picture of the pressures on UN's social development goals.
