REWS provides advance information on food crop yields and food supplies and requirements. The information alerts Member States and stakeholders of impending food shortages/surpluses early enough for appropriate interventions. National Early Warning Units have been established in all Member States to collect, analyse and disseminate early warning information at country level; AIMS produces regional reports.

Remote Sensing for Early Warning

FANR/AIMS supports Member States in Remote Sensing, Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and agro-meteorology, through the analysis of agro-meteorological and satellite remote sensing data during the crop-growing season. Remote sensing tools have been developed to monitor environmental changes and provide reliable satellite-based food security information.
