Since 1993, the Food Security Unit (formerly MARS) has been at the forefront of developing operational systems based on agro-meteorological models and remote sensing data to assess crop conditions and forecast yields. Initially focused on Europe, the Unit expanded its activities globally, with a strong focus on sub-Saharan Africa.

Today, the Unit contributes to global initiatives such as GEOGLAM, the IPC (Integrated Food Security Phase Classification), and the Global Report on Food Crises. It also manages the Knowledge Center on Food and Nutrition Security, supporting decision-makers with cutting-edge tools for food security analysis and early warning systems.
