Our
Mandate
To keep the world food supply/demand
situation under continuous review, issue reports on the world
food situation (See our Publications: Food
Outlook, Crop
Prospects and Food Situation, etc.), and provide early
warnings of impending food crises in individual
countries (See our Country Briefs).
For countries facing a serious food
emergency, FAO/GIEWS and the World Food Programme also carry
out joint Crop and Food Security Assessment Missions (CFSAMs).
Their purpose is to provide timely and reliable information so
that appropriate actions can be taken by the governments, the
international community, and other parties (See our Special
Reports).
