In this interactive we develop a typology to help design and improve spatial targeting of food and nutrition security (FNS) interventions.

Decomposing USDA ending stocks forecast errors
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) publishes monthly Ending Stocks projections, providing an estimate of the end-of-marketing-year inventory of a particular commodity, which effectively summarizes its supply and demand outlook.
The role of spatial inequalities on youth migration decisions: Empirical evidence from Nigeria
We combine nationally representative data from Nigeria with spatiotemporal data from remote sensing and other sources to study how young migrants respond to observable characteristics of potential destinations, both in absolute terms and relative
Since Amartya Sen's famous work on Poverty and Famines, economists have understood that the impacts of food market shocks on the poor depend much more on their impacts on households’ incomes and access to food than on overall food availability, an
Overcoming basis risk in agricultural index insurance using crop simulation modeling and satellite crop phenology
Extreme weather causes substantial damage to livelihoods of smallholder farmers globally and are projected to become more frequent in the coming decades as a result of climate change.
Improving the performance of index insurance using crop models and phenological monitoring
Extreme weather events cause considerable damage to the livelihoods of smallholder farmers globally.
This paper applies a recurrent neural network (RNN) method to forecast cotton and oil prices. We show how these new tools from machine learning, particularly Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) models, complement traditional methods.
Using digital repeat photography to strengthen seasonal monitoring in Ethiopia’s R4 Rural Resilience Initiative
This paper discusses the feasibility of applying a near-surface remote sensing approach in the index insurance component of the R4 Rural Resilience Initiative in Ethiopia.
The ontologies community of practice: A CGIAR initiative for big data in agrifood systems
Heterogeneous and multidisciplinary data generated by research on sustainable global agriculture and agrifood systems requires quality data labeling or annotation in order to be interoperable.

From bad to worse: Poverty impacts of food availability responses to weather shocks in Zambia
Since Amartya Sen’s famous work on Poverty and Famines, economists have understood that policy responses to food market shocks should be guided by changes in households’ incomes and access to food, rather than by overall food availability.
Generating gridded agricultural gross domestic product for Brazil : A comparison of methodologies
This paper examines two new methods to generate gridded agricultural Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and compares the results with a traditional method.
A dynamic spatial modelling of agricultural price transmission: Evidence from the Niger millet market
Spatial interactions are essential drivers of price transmission mechanisms and may significantly affect any food’s policy outcomes. However, spatial aspects seem to be generally overlooked when analysing price transmission.
