As a response to the generalized food crisis of the early 1970s, the Committee on World Food Security prompted the creation of the Global Information and Early Warning System on Food and Agriculture (GIEWS). Over the years, GIEWS has established itself as the world's leading source of information and as a respected authority on global food production, consumption and trade. It continuously monitors the food security situation in every country of the world and alerts the world to emerging food shortages. 2, record 1, English, - Global%20Information%20and%20Early%20Warning%20System%20on%20Food%20and%20Agriculture

En réaction à la crise alimentaire généralisée du début des années 1970, le Comité de la sécurité alimentaire mondiale (CSA) a sollicité la création du Système mondial d'information et d'alerte rapide sur l'alimentation et l'agriculture (SMIAR). Au fil du temps, le SMIAR s'est imposé comme la principale source mondiale, faisant autorité, d'informations sur la production, la consommation et le commerce de produits alimentaires à l'échelle mondiale. Le système surveille en permanence la situation de la sécurité alimentaire dans tous les pays du monde, et alerte la communauté internationale en cas de pénurie alimentaire imminente. 1, record 1, French, - Syst%C3%A8me%20mondial%20d%27information%20et%20d%27alerte%20rapide%20sur%20l%27alimentation%20et%20l%27agriculture
