Assessing short- and medium-term risks to agricultural supplies within the framework of AMIS Within the framework of the G20 Agricultural Market Information System (AMIS), this project will enhance AMIS capacities to assess the risk and potential implications of multi-layered food supply shocks. Specifically:
i) Analyze the impact of weather variability and extreme climatic events for wheat production within priority AMIS regions.
ii) Prototype the integration of short term (15-30 day) and seasonal climate forecasts into the AMIS Crop Monitor assessments.
iii) Coordinate ongoing work on assessing and forecasting climate risks among AMIS partners and refine an AMIS work plan on developing extended outlooks for AMIS crop production regions.
iv) Develop a mechanism for triggering detailed rapid crop assessments in response to imminent supply shocks supported by high-impact agricultural information products.
