The State of Agrifood Systems Data Platform (SCOPE)
Web-based agrifood systems indicators platform
Description
The State of Agrifood Systems Data Platform (SCOPE) is a web-based dissemination solution that centralizes harmonized agrifood systems indicators across six outcomes and related themes for country-level exploration, charting and download. The State of Agrifood Systems Data Platform (SCOPE) is designed to support evidence-based decisions on food security, nutrition and agrifood systems performance through searchable indicators, country comparisons and SDG-flagged series.
Technology
SCOPE is implemented as a cloud-hosted, desktop/web-based application with integrated database and analytics services providing more than 170 indicators mapped to six outcomes; user functions include search, chart/table toggle, regional averages, multi-country comparison, zoom/slider controls, bulk Excel download and a repository tab linking to documents and microdata catalogs. Source links and metadata display alongside each visualization.
Target
SCOPE is used by public sector agencies, researchers and analysts, and private sector practitioners requiring harmonized agrifood systems indicators, metadata and references for policy analysis, monitoring and market intelligence; the repository further connects users to microdata and surveys for deeper analysis.
Business model
SCOPE is a fully free, open-access web platform.
Impact
SCOPE is improving access to harmonized agrifood systems statistics by outcome and theme, highlighting SDG indicators, enabling country and regional comparisons, and providing bulk data extraction to streamline analytical workflows; the repository tab consolidates references and directs users to microdata for reproducible analysis, supporting transparent, evidence-based policymaking.
