FAO - Early Warning Early Action Report on food security and agriculture (apr/jun 2020)

The Early Warning Early Action (EWEA) report on food

security and agriculture is produced by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). It provides a quarterly forward-looking analysis of major disaster risks to food security and agriculture, specifically highlighting:

potential new emergencies resulting from imminent disaster threats, and

new developments in countries already affected by protracted crises which are likely to cause a further significant deterioration of food insecurity.

The EWEA report is part of FAO’s efforts to systematically link early warnings to anticipatory actions, with the aim of prompting FAO and partners to proactively mitigate and/or prevent disaster impacts before they adversely affect food security and livelihoods.
