Resumen
Descripción
The intensity and frequency of natural hazards and conflicts is increasing, leaving unprecedented levels of humanitarian needs. We cannot continue to wait for hazards to impact communities before we act. Anticipation must become an integral part of the way we address food crises, to help people strengthen their resilience so they can better respond to threats and recover from shocks more quickly. For this reason, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has been a strong advocate of forward-looking interventions and works closely with governments and partners in the humanitarian and scientific community to link early warning to Anticipatory Action. FAO’s partnership with the German Federal Foreign Office is a critical contribution to this agenda, helping to ensure capacities are in place in selected high-risk countries and regions to effectively monitor key risks to agriculture and food security, and act head of shocks.
