A data cube is a structured collection of data across time and space. The Humanitarian Data Cube is a cloud-native platform that simplifies access to vast amounts of EO and climate data.
It removes common barriers such as fragmented datasets, limited interoperability, and connectivity constraints, and enables WFP, governments and humanitarian partners to process and analyse data at scale.
