#MakeoverMonday 2023 Week 24 - Cereal and the Green Revolution: Yields vs. Land Use
At the global level, how has crop production changed over the last fifty years?
In this Watch Me Viz live stream, I analyzed how the yield and land use of producing cereal has changed over the last 50 years.
I really liked the original visualization, so I rebuilt it in Tableau. I learned how to use dynamic zone visibility, layout containers, and more. Check it out.

===============
Watch Me Viz is a weekly live stream where I help people become better at #Tableau, #PowerBI and data analysis. I show how I take an existing visualization, critique it, analyze the data, and build several visualizations all the while looking for a "better" visualization than the original.
If you are considering participating in Makeover Monday, you can get started by downloading data sets from the Makeover Monday website. I promise you'll become better at data analysis and data visualization by practicing every week.
