Hi Alvaro,
I have been involved in two projects (maybe three ) where DHIS2 was used
outside of the typical health arena. One you mention, namely food security.
There were some challenges here due to the use of a lot of financial data,
which did not always fit very well with the dimensional model of DHIS2. It
can work, but was not always an easy fit. We have also used DHIS2 for water
and sanitation, and owing to the somewhat similar domain as health, was a
much easier fit.

The third (perhaps rather extreme) use of DHIS2 which I know if personally,
is for recording of golf  scores and subsequent calculation of handicaps.
Again, not an easy fit, but it can work. Just to demonstrate the
flexibility of the platform, when applied with enough gusto.

Regards,
Jason
