Data Analysis Capstone Project using Power BI to evaluate agricultural waste management and circular economy opportunities across selected African countries.
# Advancing Circular Economy Practices in Agricultural Waste Management Across Selected African Countries
## Data Analysis Capstone Project
### Project Overview
This project applies data analytics and visualization techniques to evaluate agricultural waste generation, post-harvest food loss, and socioeconomic indicators across selected African countries. The objective is to identify circular economy opportunities that can promote sustainable development, green job creation, environmental sustainability, and evidence-based policymaking.
The project culminates in an interactive Power BI dashboard that transforms multiple datasets into actionable insights for policymakers, investors, researchers, and development organizations. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
