One of the many visualizations that were created using food data to learn important trends

Summary:

This project examines the pros and cons of organic and conventional methods of food production through wrangling, visualizing and analyzing data related to their health, cost, and sustainability outcomes. I worked on this project as part of the course CMPS 184 - Data Wrangling and Web Scraping on a 3-person team from April 2019 - June 2019.

Some of the technologies/skills used:

• Python

• Matplotlib

• Pandas

• Jupyter Notebook

Some of my major contributions:

• Cleaned and parsed several Excel and CSV data sets of undesired characters and formatting using Pandas

• Produced various bar, stacked bar, and line graphs from stored data frames using Matplotlib

• Answered key questions about the graphs and final results through diligent research of relevant topics
