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 2, French, - Syst%C3%A8me%20mondial%20d%27information%20et%20d%27alerte%20rapide%20sur%20l%27alimentation%20et%20l%27agriculture
