The CASHEWS project will hold a stakeholder meeting at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in the city of Rome, which will bring together all the major global and regional Early Warning Systems (EWS) for food security.
Steffen Fritz, Juan Carlos Laso Bayas and Linda See will attend the first stakeholder meeting of the CASHEWS project, which will provide a forum for several major agricultural EWS (including GEOGLAM, ASAP, CropWatch and others) to present their systems and identify their needs for improvement. The inputs from the stakeholder workshop will feed into the functional comparison of systems that will be undertaken by NODES, which is a follow up to a study published by Fritz et al. (2018) as well as the performance comparison to be undertaken by VITO, who also leads the CASHEWS project.
