This grant from the US Geological Survey is for CESU-affiliated partners to conduct critical research focused on enhancing global food security through advanced agricultural forecasting. The primary purpose is to develop and refine long-lead crop yield forecasting and crop condition outlooks. A significant aspect of this research involves creating innovative methodologies to provide accurate crop yield forecasts and condition outlooks specifically within FEWS NET (Famine Early Warning Systems Network) countries. This is crucial for regions where sub-national crop yield data are either severely limited or entirely unavailable. The funding aims to support projects that can bridge these data gaps, ultimately improving early warning systems for potential food shortages and supporting timely humanitarian responses.
