Nicaragua Acute Food Insecurity Classifications for 2021

Geospatial data classifying acute food insecurity levels across Nicaragua for 2021. The dataset was produced by FEWS NET (Famine Early Warning Systems Network) and provides near-term projections. It was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Map projected food insecurity classifications (IPC/CH phases) across Nicaraguan administrative units.
• Analyze spatial patterns of acute food insecurity for 2021 using polygon geometries.
• Integrate FEWS NET classification layers with other geospatial data like rainfall or crop yields for correlation studies.

Strengths

• Data is provided in standard geospatial formats (GEOJSON, KML) for direct GIS use.
• Produced by FEWS NET, a recognized authority on food security analysis.

Limitations

• The dataset contains only a single year (2021) of projections, limiting temporal analysis.
• Specific classification metrics, row counts, and spatial resolution details are unknown.
