A Global GIS Database for Food Insecurity and Vulnerability Mapping
Track: Sustainable Development and Humanitarian Affairs
Author(s): Ergin Ataman

A Global GIS Database was developed for mapping and analysis of food insecurity and vulnerability at the global level. It mainly consists of geo-physical thematic maps. It will also include sub-national socio-economic data as it becomes available in standardized formats. This database was developed under the umbrella of the Food Insecurity and Vulnerability Information and Mapping System (FIVIMS) initiative. (http://www.fivims.net/index.jspx?lang=en)
