Drawing on new data and analysis emerging from the report, the speakers highlighted global, regional and local trends relating to the main drivers of food crises, looked at emerging issues and risks, and fostered a strategic dialogue on the collective priorities required to effectively address and prevent these crises.

Facilitating Anticipatory Action with Improved Early Warning Guidance

The GRFC 2023 MYU trends and projections of food crises fed the IFPRI-AMIS seminar on early warning, early action systems (EWEAs) and their role in providing guidance to policymakers and decision-makers.
