Global Information and Early Warning System (GIEWS)

The Global Information and Early Warning System (GIEWS) is a service of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations. Its primary goal is to monitor food security around the world. GIEWS collects and analyzes data on food production, supply, and demand to identify potential crises like famine or food shortages. It also provides early warnings to governments and organizations, helping them to take preventive measures to protect vulnerable populations. By sharing timely information, GIEWS aims to promote food security and improve responses to global food challenges.
