Food waste, policy, and economic context
Waste Wise is a compact research site that reframes the original dashboard as a submission-ready web experience. It presents the project question, the supporting sources, and the data outputs in separate pages so the analysis is easier to review.
The project uses a 2021 country snapshot, with food waste measured in kilograms per capita and policy strength scored on an 18-point scale built from six policy categories. The visuals and tables are designed to remain faithful to the uploaded source files while presenting them in a more formal, analysis-friendly format.
Project framing
Focus
What this site is built to show
The central question is whether stronger food donation and food waste policies are associated with lower food waste outcomes. The site is organized to support that question through a clear sequence: background sources, visual analysis, and the complete country table.
Working assumptions
The site treats the uploaded workbook as a single-country snapshot for 2021. It assumes the policy categories are comparable across countries and that the source scoring system can be represented as a six-part total. The charts are intentionally static in structure, while the underlying values remain visible in the dataset page for review and grading.
How to read the site
Start with the homepage for the research framing, move to the resources page for background context, and then use the data pages to inspect the visualizations and the country table. The navigation is arranged so each assignment requirement is separated into its own page.
