Welcome to UConn's

Coordinated Innovation Network

for Mobility Big Data

As part of the USDA's Data Science for Food and Agricultural Systems program we are establishing a network of researchers applying mobility big data to questions of food, health, agriculture, and more.

About the Project

The complexity of the social, economic, and environmental interactions in the food system requires problems to be addressed through an interdisciplinary lens. Mobility big data and AI systems can play a critical role in advancing food production, processing, and consumption systems. We have received funding through the USDA’s DSFAS program to bring together researchers from a variety of disciplines and institutions to address big questions using big mobility data. Our mobility data comes from Veraset and Safegraph, and for over 200 million U.S. mobile phone users tells us:

  • Where they have visited
  • How long they spent there
  • What neighborhood they live in

NE2204: A regional network of social, behavioral, and economic food systems research consists of researchers committed to:

  • Creating an interdisciplinary network of researchers that use mobility big data to address questions related to the food system, agriculture, health, and the environment
  • Assessing the impact of economic and social shocks, such as COVID-19, competitor market entry, and public policies, on consumer, producer, and supplier behavior
  • Analyzing the degree to which the community food landscape and neighborhood characteristics interact to analyze
    • Consumer behavior regarding traditional and non-traditional retailers and other points of interest and
    • Firm behavior regarding entry, exit location choice, and competition
