Methodology įEWS NET reporting focuses on acute food insecurity-sudden and/or short-term household food deficits caused by shocks-rather than chronic food insecurity, ongoing or cyclical food deficits related to persistent poverty and a lack of assets. In 2010, to mark its 25th anniversary, FEWS NET produced a video to document its work. To help decision-makers and relief agencies plan for food emergencies, FEWS NET publishes monthly reports (available on its web site) on current and projected food insecurity, up-to-the-minute alerts on emerging or likely crises, and specialized reports on weather hazards, crops, market prices, and food assistance. Using an integrated approach that considers climate, agriculture production, prices, trade, nutrition, and other factors, together with an understanding of local livelihoods, FEWS NET forecasts most likely outcomes and anticipates change six to twelve months in advance. With support from a technical team in Washington, D.C., FEWS NET staff based in more than 20 country offices collaborate with US government agencies, national government ministries and international partners to collect data and produce objective, forward-looking analysis on the world's most food-insecure countries.
