Recent food crises have revealed the importance of timely, reliable and accessible food price information to monitor food security and to support informed policy decision-making, improved market transparency and more efficient value chains. The European Commission's Directorate General for International Cooperation and Development (DG DEVCO), together with the Joint Research Centre (JRC) and its research partner Terranea, are actively exploring innovative methodologies for data collection and how they can contribute to early warnings about food security. A JRC study shows the role that mobile technologies and crowdsourcing or data collection by volunteers can play in filling the information gap in developing countries, particularly in Africa.
