2023 EY OPEN SCIENCE DATA CHALLENGE

Could you harvest data to help solve world hunger?

One in three people worldwide lack regular access to adequate food. Food is the most basic of human needs, second only to air and water.

No one solution can solve world hunger. But we all can play a role in mitigating that global problem through the 2023 Open Science Data Challenge.

The scale of the problem is global, but the solution starts with understanding a single crop at a single location. The challenge this year is special as it looks at rice farming in Vietnam.

Working together, we can help farmers, communities and even entire countries better plan and adapt to our changing climate.

TURN DATA INTO DINNER

► So many plates are empty, but data is plentiful. From 2010 to 2020, the amount of data created, captured, copied and consumed saw almost 5,000% growth.

► Using data from Microsoft’s Planetary Computer and weather data from TerraClimate, participants will build tools to identify crops and forecast crop yields.

► We challenge you to use your mind, dig into the data and discover the solutions that will help feed the world.
