Data farm

Synopsis

Convened by Community Jameel, the MIT Abdul Latif Jameel Water and Food Systems Lab (J-WAFS) and the Jameel Observatory, this event brings together our community of scientists, creatives, humanitarians, technologists and policymakers, the event will explore food security and climate change, including the role of data science to monitor, forecast and inform policy decisions to adapt to the threats posed by climate change.

Hosted at Goals House in the Four Seasons in Sharm El-Sheikh, the carefully curated evening will feature remarks from high-level speakers, climate-conscious food with Taheena, music by El Waili, and vertical gardens by Schaduf, an Egyptian social enterprise harnessing agricultural technologies to make cities more sustainable, in collaboration with the United Nations' International Organisation for Migration.

During 2022, MIT J-WAFS launched the Jameel Index, a new platform to measure countries' food security vulnerability to trade disruption including from climate change.
