FAO Trade and Markets. Transparent and efficient food and agricultural commodity markets and trade for global food security
2020Established after the food crises of the early 1970s, the Global Information and Early Warning System on Food and Agriculture (GIEWS) continuously monitors and reports on food supply and demand across the world. It is a leading source of information on food production and food security at national, regional and global levels. Through assessments and reports, GIEWS alerts national and international decision makers on impending food crises, aiming to guide their intervention. GIEWS provides comprehensive market intelligence on agricultural commodities and supports national and regional initiatives to establish and enhance early warning systems. -

The Global Information and Early Warning System on Food and Agriculture (GIEWS) utilizes remote sensing data that can provide a valuable insight on water availability and vegetation health during the cropping seasons. In addition to the rainfall estimates and the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), GIEWS and FAO’s CBC Division have developed the Agricultural Stress Index (ASI). Every ten days, the System generates a map showing the hot spots around the world, where crops are affected by water stress during the growing period and the information is verified with field observations to corroborate the remote sensing analysis. -
