01In brief

The short answer.

Food Nexus tools are the public technical views the platform releases on food and agriculture: maps and model descriptions, each with its time and space reference, sources, licence and uncertainty. Analysis runs in Nexus Foundry for authorized projects, and data that is not released is not available through these pages.

02Canvas

Scoping to review.

Canvas · scoping to reviewDesign, not a record
Data and technical methods: from layers to a published mapLayers are ingested with their licences, reprojected and harmonised, analysed (overlay, zonal statistics, indices), checked for uncertainty and published as a map with its passport. Design of the process, not a record of a run.

03Geography

Digital demand and connectivity in Japan and Korea.

Urban demand centres and the hubs that anchor digital and data infrastructure, shown for Japan and Korea as an example geography for this subject.

05Fitness for purpose

What every food system tool should state about itself.

  • The crop season and region a product describes; food outcomes are seasonal.
  • Whether a figure is production, availability, access or utilisation, the four dimensions of food security.
  • The classification system behind any food insecurity figure and its analysis period.
06Build environment

Working with the tools.

Analysis runs in Nexus Foundry for authorized projects. Public pages show released views only, each with its time and space reference and its rights.
