“Farmers from Iowa to India are using data from seeds, satellites, sensors, and tractors to make better
decisions about what to grow, when to plant, how to track food freshness from farm to fork, and how
to adapt to changing climates.”

“To better inform restaurant-goers about unsanitary venues, San Francisco successfully piloted a
collaboration with Yelp—fusing the city’s restaurant health inspection data onto the site’s restaurant
review pages. If you open up the page of restaurant Tacos El Primo, for example, it shows a health
score of 98 out of 100 (below). Yelp ratings are pretty powerful. Apart from serving as a mouthpiece
for the city to tell residents about food hazards, the collaboration is potentially a way to shame repeat-
offender restaurants into complying with health standards.”
