Monitoring and assessing impact to inform policy responses.
by Todd Benson, Nicholas Minot, John Pender, Miguel Robles, Joachim von Braun
Describes the data and methods that national and international decisionmakers need to understand the effects of a global food crisis on a country and to alleviate risks and exploit opportunities. Outlines the design and implementation of an open Internet-based portal for sharing reliable, appropriate information and decision-support tools for national policymakers so they can respond quickly to changes in world food markets in an informed manner.
