Series title Food Chain Crisis Early Warning Bulletin

Series number No. 20/ 2016

Synopsis (short abstract) During the period July-September 2016, Food Chain Crisis (FCC) threats are expected to occur in the regions of Africa, Americas, Asia, and Europe. The dynamics of the FCC threats depend on a number of risk factors/drivers including agro-ecological factors (e.g. intensive farming systems, deforestation, overgrazing, etc.), climatic changes (e.g. droughts, heavy rains, heat waves, changes in vegetation cover, etc.), human behavior (e.g. cultural practices, conflicts and civil insecurity, trade, et c.) and natural disasters. FCC threats, as forecasted for the period of July-September 2016, will be either persisting within a country or possibly spreading to neighboring countries, or will be latent and will re-emerge/amplify at a certain time.
