Dear all, On behalf of the G7’s Global Open Data for Agriculture and Nutrition (GODAN), I want to thank all students and mentors who contributed for the NASA Worldwind Europa Challenge 2017.
In January 2017 at the Geospatial World Forum 2017 in Hyderabad , India , GODAN released a call for participants to take part in a Local Farming Challenge, with support from the NASA Europa Challenge 2017. The call aimed to bring together researchers and students to find solutions for local farming in growing cities, using open agriculture and nutrition data. Agriculture must respond to an increasing urban population and changing climate conditions. Optimising local food production to wisely support our nutrition needs is an area where creative solutions are essential to our future. We had a range of amazing projects submitted for this challenge . In August 2017, at the final awards ceremony event held in Nokia headquarters in Finland we announced the winner of the GODAN challenge - AgroSphere which was developed by a team of high school and undergraduate NASA interns. AgroSphere is an educational web application that visualizes the effects of climate change on agriculture using a large collection of global agriculture and climate data.
