Project Overview:

This project focuses on compiling and analyzing statistical data for a diverse range of 278 crop and livestock products. The dataset will be expressed in key indicators like production quantities, yields, and processed product outputs, making it a valuable resource for understanding global agricultural production patterns across crops and livestock industries.

Expected Deliverables:

Proposal
Data Visualizations
Data Analysis
Project Presentation
Final Write-Up
Peer Reviews

Team Goals:

Assess global food production with respect to regions.
Analyze the climate effect on crop production.

Learning Objectives:
