Development actors in a country prioritize understanding the food security situation of the population. Analysts conduct various assessments to identify hungry and food insecure populations and determine the underlying causes. These assessments include CFSVAs, EFSA, and market analyses. Advanced technologies like satellite imagery, GIS, and mobile data collection platforms are used to collect, manage, and analyze data. The world food program and its partners are establishing FSMS for continuous monitoring of food security conditions and market prices.
