Food Security

The Food Security data collection currently contains the Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET) Food Insecurity Hotspots data set. The data set consists of grids at 250 meter resolution that identify the level of intensity and frequency of food insecurity over the 10 years between 2009 and 2019, as well as hotspot areas that have experienced consecutive food insecurity events. The gridded data are based on sub-national food security analysis in five (5) regions, including Central America and the Caribbean, Central Asia, East Africa, Southern Africa, and West Africa.
