The FAO Risk Monitor is a dynamic, real-time platform for monitoring food security risks. It facilitates coordinated early detection, warning, and rapid response by providing an open data-sharing platform for members and partners. This supports effective decision-making, anticipatory actions, and the swift disbursement of resources to prevent food crises and mitigate the impact of simultaneous shocks.

Designed as a global public good, the Risk Monitor integrates multiple multidimensional hazard indicators, offering actionable, evidence-based analyses and pre-defined triggers for intervention. It covers both insurable risks like droughts and floods, and traditionally non-insurable threats such as political instability, conflict, and locust outbreaks.
