Early Warning Systems on Food and Agriculture
Early Warning Systems activities: Three main steps
1) Data collection 2) Data analysis 3) Dissemination of information
Early Warning Systems on Food and Agriculture : Data collection Cropped areas cropping conditions Consumption Meteorological conditions Trade, markets Prices Governmental agricultural policies Transports and storage Pests, diseases
Early Warning Systems on Food and Agriculture : Data collection
Main sources of information come from
national services (agrométéorology, hydrology, plant protection, statistics, ...).
Early Warning Systems on Food and Agriculture : Data collection
Crop and Food Supply Assessment Missions can also be organised
Early Warning Systems on Food and Agriculture : Data collection
Crop Production and Food Supply Assessment (FAO) Vulnerability and Food Needs Assessment (WFP/FAO) Macroeconomic Context Affecting Food Supply, Demand (FAO)
Three main components of FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Missions
Early Warning Systems on Food and Agriculture : Data collection
Collected information is included in databases
a) Agroclimatic and agronomic data and statistics at national and sub-national levels
Early Warning Systems on Food and Agriculture : Data collection
b) maps of boundaries, roads, rivers,...
Early Warning Systems on Food and Agriculture : Data collection
c) Cropping zones. crop calendars
Early Warning Systems on Food and Agriculture : Data collection
d) Satellite imagery: Vegetation coverage
Early Warning Systems on Food and Agriculture : Data collection
d) Satellite imagery: Cold Cloud Duration from METEOSAT
Early Warning Systems on Food and Agriculture : Data collection
d) Satellite imagery: creation of animated sequences For example, evolution of monthly CCD images during growing season in West Africa :

d) Satellite imagery: Creation of difference images
Vegetation Index in the Sahel – September, reference year Vegetation Index in the Sahel - September (mean) Vegetation Index in the Sahel - September (diff. - mean)

d) Satellite imagery: Precipitation Last dekad of April 2017
Early Warning Systems on Food and Agriculture : Data collection
d) Satellite imagery: Precipitation anomaly Last dekad of April 2017
Early Warning Systems on Food and Agriculture : Data collection
d) Satellite imagery: Vegetation coverage – NDVI anomaly Last dekad of April 2017
Early Warning Systems on Food and Agriculture : Data analysis
2) Tools for data Analysis
Main tools for analysis of the information a) Windisp (Windows Display) b) CCBS (Country Cereal Balance Sheets) c) National Food Prices Utility
Early Warning Systems on Food and Agriculture : Data analysis
Cereal production in Burkina Faso
a) WinDisp
CCD dekadal image Crop zones for Sorghum Maps of roads, railways, cities,… For example :
WinDisp is a map and image display module used for the analysis and integration of satellite images, digital map and associated tabular data.

Other example of WinDisp display :
- Vegetation images
(a and b)
- Difference image
indicating drought affected areas (c)
- And reference
provincial wheat production map (d).
