INTRODUCTION
Before taking action in a particular country, development agents must assess the level of food security there. To comprehend food security in a particular country, various analyses must be conducted. Comprehensive Food Security and Vulnerability Analyses (CFSVAs), Emergency assessments, and market analyses (EFSA) are all included in the analysis. The development actors manage and analyze data using a variety of technologies, including GIS, satellite images, and mobile applications. To construct Food Security Monitoring Systems (FSMS) for ongoing monitoring of market pricing and food security circumstances, other development actors form collaborations. Participants in this course will leave with the information and abilities needed to examine the ideas behind food security.
