(18 February 2016) The odi.org reports that the UK’s Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has a transformative open data programme. Defra has committed to publish 8,000 datasets as open data in 12 months and transform how it collects, collaborates with and uses data in everything it does.
This week, Defra has published almost three decades of family food survey data as open data, giving others an insight into the changing diets of British Households.
To mark the dataset’s release, the ODI has commissioned a data visualisation, to help inspire others to play with this new and interesting open data source.
More here including an article by By David Lee, Statistician, Defra describing the survey and the data.
