Data Literacy Project 2022/2023

Impact of most Common Food Categories on Green House Gas Emissions

Goal of the project 📈

The goal of the project is to analyze the emissions of common plant based food and animal derivated food, in order to establish if there are significant evidence that one of the two categories emits less pollution than the other.

Data used 🔗

All the used data is taken from Environment Impact of Food Production. This dataset has been also augmented manually by us with a column indicating if a food is plant based or not.
