The Early Warning Early Action (EWEA) report on food security and agriculture is developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). It provides a quarterly forward-looking analysis of major disaster risks to food security and agriculture, specifically highlighting: - potential new emergencies resulting from imminent disaster threats - new developments in countries already affected by protracted crises which are likely to cause a further deterioration of food insecurity This report is part of FAO’s efforts to systematically link early warnings to anticipatory actions. By providing specific early action recommendations for each country, the report aims to prompt FAO and partners to proactively mitigate and/or prevent disasters before they start to adversely impact food security. In order of intensity, for the period July-September 2019, the high risk section includes: Burkina Faso, Mali and the Niger • Horn of Africa • The Sudan • Yemen • South Sudan • Democratic People’s Republic of Korea • Cameroon • Democratic Republic of the Congo • African swine fever outbreak in Asia
