Abstract

FAO’s Global Information and Early Warning System (GIEWS) was established in 1975 in the wake of the world food crisis of the early 1970s. The System has the mandate to continuously monitor the global food supply and demand situation and alert the international community of countries or regions threatened by serious food shortages or which have exceptional localised or exportable surpluses of food available for donor purchases and distribution to deficit areas. One of the System’s exceptional assets lies in the vast database at its disposal on global, regional, national and sub-national food security which is continuously updated and refined.
