# Farnham Food

An exploration of food establishments in Waverley, Surrey, using geospatial analysis techniques.

## Description

This project sets out to explore food hygiene ratings in Farnham and the wider borough of Waverley in Surrey, UK. The UK [Food Standards Agency](https://www.food.gov.uk) publishes [full ratings data](https://ratings.food.gov.uk) for every local authority in England and Wales. An explainer on the UK's Food Hygiene Rating Scheme can be found [here](https://www.food.gov.uk/safety-hygiene/food-hygiene-rating-scheme).

## Getting started

### Data

* The source data used for this project can be downloaded [here](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1u6Qu3k99K0SbU-35ohsdppoV7PKm3bRY/view?usp=share_link). The original source of the data is the UK FSA, and can be downloaded [here](https://ratings.food.gov.uk/OpenDataFiles/FHRS314en-GB.xml). If downloading from source be aware that the data may idffer from that used in this project since the ratings are refreshed on a daily basis.

* In addition, this project makes use of the [Local Authority Districts (May 2023) Boundaries UK BFC](https://geoportal.statistics.gov.uk/datasets/ons::local-authority-districts-may-2023-boundaries-uk-bfc/) shapefile.

Note that some of the establishments in the dataset have no location data because they are run from a private address. These establishments have been excluded from my analysis.

### Packages

This project employs `renv` to manage package versions.

### Data Profiling

My exploratory analysis and profiling of the source data can be found [here](https://rpubs.com/SurreyDataGirl/farnham-food).
