Working with governments to ensure national food security
Supporting national food security
A food security platform can serve as a single source of truth and an early warning hub that provides up-to-date information, insights, and analysis across the value chain. It can predict future price and supply shocks and promotes proactive, evidence-based decision making across all audiences to guarantee the food security of our partners and ensure national strategic reserves.
Gro's approach to monitoring food security involves four elements
1.
Extensive data and analytics
Gro’s vast amount of data allows us to provide current analytics around all major crops and products imported and exported by our partners
2.
Scenario-modeling
Run scenarios to aid key short-, medium-, and long-term food security decisions
3.
Decision making tools
Gro provides tools that help leadership make decisions related to food security, sustainability, and food safety based on data and analytics
4.
Automated alerts
Gro provides automated alerts that help inform when new information can change current assumptions
Gro’s food security platform is built on three principles
Innovation
- Built on the latest (proven) advances in e.g. Artificial Intelligence, Neural Networks, Machine-Learning
- Built on over 40,000+ external data sets, 60 million Gro-derived data series, and more than 650 trillion data points
- Takes short-, medium-, and long-term views (e.g., through including climate and future supply and demand scenarios)
- Accessible across all levels of stakeholders
Subject matter expertise
- Built on Gro's unique in-house analyst team featuring agronomists, commodity experts, climate scientists, and more
- Takes into account unique circumstances and is built around the priorities
Transparency, objectivity
- Provides independent and verifiable fact-based information to leaders
- The methodology behind the insights generated by the platform should be fully transparent — this should not be a “black box”
