    The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has developed a Country-level ASIS Tool to help countries monitor agricultural drought and manage its risks, using satellite data to detect cropped land that could be affected by drought. The Tool uses satellite data to detect agricultural areas (farmland) in which crops might be affected by drought. The country-specific version of the Tool is based on the general methodological principles of the global Agricultural Stress Index System (ASIS), which is used at FAO Headquarters to support the Global Information and Early Warning System on Food and Agriculture (GIEWS).
