GEOGLAM aims at increasing market transparency and improving food security by producing timely and actionable information on agricultural conditions and outlooks of production at national, regional, and global scales. To face the challenges that the COVID-19 pandemic has brought, GEOGLAM has been providing monthly global Crop Monitors featuring near real-time information on crop conditions. For major food exporting nations, the Crop Monitor for the Agricultural Monitoring Information System (AMIS) is available to promote transparency and policy coordination in international food markets and helps to prevent unexpected price hikes. For food insecure regions of the world, the Crop Monitor for Early Warning (CM4EW) reveals crop conditions and provides early warning of potential impacts that may affect food supply for the most vulnerable populations.
