Testimonials

Our work with My Emissions helps Just Eat understand how customers and restaurant partners can make more informed choices when it comes to the food they order and offer.

Jaz Rabadia MBE, Global Head of Responsible Business

Working with the My Emissions team has allowed us to take a data-driven look at our carbon hotspots and find effective ways in reducing them. We've made fantastic progress by reducing the carbon of our gournay-style cheese alternative by 65%. This is a huge first step for us.

My Emissions play a very important part in our sustainability strategy by providing a platform that fits into our Agile development process. We can include carbon footprint as a development discussion, evaluate how ingredients can be selected to reduce it, and ultimately support on-pack carbon labelling.

Martin Baker, Head of ESG

My Emissions gives us the insights we need to understand the carbon footprint of our best-selling products. The analysis allows us to make informed product decisions, reduce our emissions and supports us in moving forwards towards our SBTi decarbonisation goals.

Situation overview

The IFPRI Food security Portal -supported by the European Commission- displays multiple analytical tools, including Food Policy Analysis Tools (Early Warning Tools, Food Price and Market Monitoring Tools, Modeling and Scenario Analysis Tools), Food Security and Nutrition indicators Tools, and Policy-related Tools (e.g. Food and Fertilizer Export Restrictions Tracker).

The FSP provides real-time early warning alerts for international food price volatility and has a ready-to-use tool (Vulnerability tool) to assess countries most at risk of seeing food security affected by food commodity-specific global price shocks.

This tool provides a simple measure of vulnerability to international price shocks for each country and each major food commodity.

The Global Hunger Index (GHI) is a tool for comprehensively measuring and tracking hunger at global, regional, and national levels.

GHI scores are based on the values of four component indicators: 1) Undernourishment; 2) Child stunting; 3) Child wasting; 4) Child mortality.

The index has largely stagnated in recent years.

The Global Food and Nutrition Security Dashboard is an information-sharing platform of the Global Alliance for Food Security (GAFS), jointly convened by the World Bank and the German G7 Presidency, which was launched in May 2022. The dashboard uses an interactive map to display data and indicators on food security and nutrition, including data on food crisis severity from the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC/CH). It also monitors the status of national Food Security Crisis Preparedness Plans (FSCPPs) and tracks information on global food security financing.

The IPC-CH Dashboard is a visual display of the total number of people experiencing or facing high levels of acute food insecurity classified in Crisis or worse (IPC/CH Phase 3 or above), in 40 countries. The data combines the latest analyses by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) and the Cadre Harmonisé (CH).

The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis portal provides evidence and standards for better food security decisions.

It includes analyses, alerts, infographics, and tools, including a .

The CH Platform provides the latest results of the CH analysis as well as the technical documentation and e-learning materials related to the classification and analysis of acute food insecurity. Most of the material are in French language. The CH covers West Africa, the Sahel and Cameroon

The mission of the Réseau de Prévention des Crises alimentaires (RPCA) for nearly thirty-five years has been to promote dialogue and co-ordination, to build a coherent and shared understanding of the region's food and nutrition situation and to inform decision-making.

GIEWS Country Briefs provide up to date information on the food security situation of monitored countries. The Country Briefs include information on the current agricultural season and the harvest prospects for the main staple food crops and livestock situation. In addition, the Briefs provide estimates and forecasts of cereal production and imports together with food price and policy developments. Other topical information may be included when relevant. The Briefs are updated no less than four times per year.

WFP DataViz is a real-time open data platform designed to be a one-stop-shop for accessing a wide range of information, including data related to food security, markets, economics, and climate. It operates as a dynamic hub where vast streams of data at national and sub-national levels are made available to users in a timely manner. The primary goal of DataViz is to ensure that data, analysis, and evidence serve as a global public good, empowering users with the knowledge they need to make well-informed decisions. Through interactive visualizations, DataViz transforms complex datasets into easily interpretable formats, facilitating deeper understanding and actionable insights.

HungerMapLIVE is the World Food Programme (WFP)'s global hunger monitoring system. It combines key metrics from various data sources - such as food security information, weather, population size, conflict, hazards, nutrition information and macro-economic data - to help assess, monitor and predict the magnitude and severity of hunger in near real-time. The resulting analysis is displayed on an interactive map that helps WFP staff, key decision makers and the broader humanitarian community to make more informed and timely decisions relating to food security. The platform covers 94 countries, including countries where WFP has operations as well as most lower and lower-middle income countries (as classified by the World Bank).

FEWS NET, the Famine Early Warning Systems Network, is a provider of early warning and analysis on acute food insecurity. Created in 1985 by the US Agency for International Development (USAID) after devastating famines in East and West Africa, FEWS NET provides objective, evidence-based analysis to help government decision-makers and relief agencies plan for and respond to humanitarian crises.

Mapping global emergency: country profiles; crisis analysis; special reports; key figures and priorities.

HDX is a database for disseminating humanitarian data of various types (food security, nutrition, drivers, etc.).

Hand-in-Hand is an initiative of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to accelerate agricultural transformation and sustainable rural development to eradicate poverty (SDG1) and end hunger and all forms of malnutrition (SDG2). The initiative aims to bring together geospatial layers and statistics.

Ceres2030: Sustainable Solutions to End Hunger" was set up to provide donor governments with new tools to help them address Sustainable Development Goal # 2: end hunger by 2030. It is led by , the , and the .

New researches show that Donors should spend an additional USD 14 billion a year on average to end hunger sustainably. The analysis includes the areas of intervention and countries to be prioritized.

This online resource proposes the metadata for SDG indicators.

Conflict, Insecurity and Displacement
The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) is a disaggregated data collection, analysis, and crisis mapping project. ACLED records the dates, actors, types of violence, locations, and fatalities of all reported political violence and protest events across Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Central Asia and the Caucasus, and Southeastern and Eastern Europe and the Balkans. Political violence and protest activity includes events that occur within civil wars and periods of instability, public demonstrations, and regime breakdown. ACLED's aim is to capture the forms, actors, dates, and locations of political violence and protest as it occurs across states. The ACLED team conducts analysis to describe, explore, and test conflict scenarios, and makes both data and analysis free and open to use by the public.

CSCW and Uppsala Conflict Data Program (UCDP) at the Department of Peace and Conflict Research , Uppsala University, have collaborated in the production of a dataset of armed conflicts, both internal and external, in the period 1946 to the present. The Armed Conflict Dataset is primarily intended for academic use in statistical and macro-level research. It complements the annual compendium of ongoing armed conflicts published in the Journal of Peace Research, as well as the UCDP online database . CSCW houses the academic conflict dataset and continues to work closely with UCDP to provide more and better data.

The Science4Peace portal combines conflict monitoring and forecasting data with detailed maps to support conflict early warning, prevention, and crisis management.

The Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD) provides estimates on internal displacement at the country level. It aims to provide comprehensive information on internal displacement worldwide.

The World Bank-UNHCR JDC aims to foster and produce quality socioeconomic data and analysis on populations affected by forced displacement to improve development policy and humanitarian response.
Climate extremes
ASAP is an online decision support system for early warning about hotspots of agricultural production anomaly (crop and rangeland), developed by the JRC for food security crises prevention and response planning anticipation.

The Crop Monitor Early Warning (CM4EW), operational since February 2016, focuses on countries at risk of food production shortfalls. CM4EW is an internationally recognized source of reliable information on early warning and crop conditions, and often used to inform humanitarian organization decisions on food allocation and assistance. Monthly reports are produced.

GDACS is a cooperation framework between the United Nations and the European Commission. It includes disaster managers and disaster information systems worldwide and aims at filling the information and coordination gaps in the first phase after major disasters.

The main objective of the database is to serve the purposes of humanitarian action at national and international levels. The initiative aims to rationalise decision making for disaster preparedness, as well as provide an objective base for vulnerability assessment and priority setting. EM-DAT contains essential core data on the occurrence and effects of over 22,000 mass disasters in the world from 1900 to the present day. The database is compiled from various sources, including UN agencies, non-governmental organisations, insurance companies, research institutes and press agencies.

This resource provides information collected through a system of sentinel sites on state of livestock, the availability of grazing, and water resources, market prices, the presence of animal diseases, bush fires and incidents linked to insecurity.
Price fluctuations and economic shocks
This web site contains latest information and analyses on domestic prices of basic foods mainly in developing countries, complementing FAO analysis on international markets. It provides early warning on high food prices at country level that may negatively affect food security.

This bulletin provides information on price changes for the most commonly consumed staples and their potential impacts on the cost of the basic food basket.

The AMIS Market Database provides quick access to the latest supply and demand information of wheat, maize, rice and soybeans, and allows users to compare AMIS numbers to information from other key sources of global food market data.

FEWS NET monitors staple food prices in countries where we regularly conduct integrated food security analysis, as well as other countries with broader regional or global influence.
