Early Warning Early Action report on food security and agriculture

The Early Warning Early Action (EWEA) report on food security and agriculture is developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) through its EWEA. The system aims to translate forecasts and early warnings into anticipatory action.

This report specifically highlights:

HIGH RISK: Yemen (access constraints combined with spikes in conflict threaten to precipitate an already large-scale humanitarian crisis), South Sudan (early lean season induced by conflict-related disruptions), Democratic Republic of Congo (intensification and spread of conflict to other regions), Sahel(difficult pastoral lean season due to drought impacting food security outcomes), Bangladesh and Myanmar (refugee crisis compounded by the upcoming monsoon season), Ethiopia (erratic long rains forecast potentially affecting meher season), Venezuela (hyperinflation and a declining economy to affect food security)

ON WATCH: Somalia (despite near-average Gu rains forecast, insecurity and flood risks could further exacerbate food insecurity),  Nigeria (northeast) (lean season to exacerbate impact of civil conflict on food security), Syria (fighting to aggravate the food security situation in eastern Ghouta and in the northwest), Afghanistan (prolonged dry spells, conflict and cross-border movements), Southen Africa region (dry conditions threatening cereal production prospects), Central African republic (further spread of conflict leading to continued displacement), Sudan (localized dry spells and increased economic fragility), Mongolia (continued impact of localized dzud), Africa fall armyworm (further spread to Egypt and Libya).
