Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET)

The Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET) is a program that monitors food security and provides early warnings about potential famines. It collects and analyzes data on weather, crop production, markets, and other factors affecting food availability in different regions, particularly in developing countries. By identifying areas at risk of food shortages, FEWS NET helps governments, organizations, and communities take proactive measures to prevent famine and mitigate its impacts. Their reports and forecasts are essential for planning interventions and ensuring that people have access to the food they need.
