FEWS NET produces forecasts and analysis of acute food insecurity through a collection of USAID-coordinated activities. FEWS NET work is implemented by a team of partners, including the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the University of California-Santa Barbara’s Climate Hazards Center (UCSB-CHC), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Chemonics International Inc., the American Institutes for Research (AIR), and TetraTech.

The NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) Hydrological Sciences Laboratory examines the role of water in the Earth system. Laboratory researchers strive to better understand, quantify, and analyze the hydrological cycle and to measure hydrological processes in order to improve prediction of the response of global hydrology to anthropogenic and/or natural climate change.

The FEWS NET team at NASA GSFC supports FEWS NET agroclimatology by applying Earth Observations and land surface modeling to characterize past, present, and future water availability and vegetation conditions.

University of Maryland Geographical Sciences & NASA Harvest assure continued FEWS NET participation in the monthly international collaborative production of the Crop Monitor for Early Warning.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)

NOAA's Earth System Research Laboratory Physical Sciences Division (ESRL/PSD) provides critical forecasting products, services, and research on climate predictability at sub-seasonal to multi-seasonal time scales. These support FEWS NET’s early warning of food insecurity, and help identify climate change impacts in food-insecure countries worldwide.

NOAA's Climate Predication Center (CPC) provides critical products and services to support FEWS NET's early warning of food insecurity and identification of climate change impacts in food-insecure countries worldwide.

The Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) leads USDA’s efforts to help developing countries improve their agricultural systems and build their trade capacity. FAS’s network of global contacts and long-standing relationships with international groups contribute to the agency’s unique market intelligence capacity. FAS analysts provide objective intelligence on foreign market conditions, prepare production forecasts, assess export opportunities, and track changes in policies affecting U.S. agricul­tural exports and imports.

At the USGS Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center, analysts study land change and produce land change data products used by researchers, resource managers, and policy makers across the nation and around the world. The FEWS NET team at USGS EROS provides agroclimatology support through remote sensing, modeling, and geospatial data analysis.

Supports FEWS NET agroclimatology through the application of its unique global gridded time-series precipitation data set for early identification and forecast of reduced-yield agricultural seasons; produces cutting-edge science to benefit communities most impacted by extreme events by identifying the conditions that impact yield throughout the developing world and then assess how these conditions can be forecast for early identification/warning.
