Your Plate, Your Planet: Understanding the Greenhouse Gas Impact of Our Food Choices

Overview

This is a project created as a part of a 3-month Data Analytics program at neuefische. This repository contains the culmination of three months of learning and hands-on experience in a data analytics bootcamp. The project focuses on applying data analysis and visualisation skills to solve real-world problems, utilizing various tools and techniques learned during the program.

The data used in this project is available on the website of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
