A Framework for Food Availability Forecasting Using Temporal Knowledge Graph

Abstract

The entire world encounters a significant problem which is food availability. “Zero-hunger” is the second Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) of the goals established by the United Nations in 2015. With the increasing number of people and various factors affecting food availability such as climate and country-based food production rate, food forecasting models have become increasingly essential. However, traditional forecasting techniques are limited in dealing with the data and identifying the relationships between them within a specific timestamp. This paper proposes a framework for an intelligent food availability forecasting model built using deep learning techniques and based on a temporal knowledge graph where different timestamps are taken into consideration. The proposed framework helps in enhancing and overcoming the challenges and limitations of the recent forecasting techniques leading to a dynamic, scalable, intelligent forecasting model.
