Use Cases

• Map acute food insecurity severity classifications across Guatemalan administrative units using polygon geometries.
• Analyze spatial patterns of food crisis intensity for 2011 from FEWS NET's standardized IPC-like classifications.
• Join geospatial classifications with population or agricultural data using administrative boundary attributes.

Strengths
