Yemen Acute Food Insecurity Classifications for 2020

Geospatial data classifies acute food insecurity levels across Yemen for the year 2020. The Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET) produced this projection. It was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Map acute food insecurity classifications by administrative region using polygon geometries.
• Analyze spatial patterns of projected food crisis severity for 2020.
• Integrate FEWS NET classification layers with other geospatial data like population density or rainfall.
• Create visualizations showing the geographic distribution of food insecurity risk levels.

Strengths

• Data is provided in standard geospatial formats (GEOJSON, KML) for direct GIS use.
• Projections are from FEWS NET, a recognized authority on food security early warning.

Limitations

• The dataset contains only a single year (2020) of projection data.
• The underlying sample size or methodology used for classification is not specified.
• Data is a medium-term projection, not observed ground-truth measurements.
