"This book describes the interdisciplinary work of the United States Agency for International
Development (USAID)'s Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET) and its influence
on methodological and development policies in the US. FEWS NET operational needs have
driven science in biophysical remote sensing applications through its collaboration
with NASA, NOAA, USGS and USDA, and socio-economic methodologies through its involvement
with USAID, the United Nation's World Food Program and numerous international non-governmental
organizations such as Save the Children, Oxfam and others ; The book describes FEWS
NET's systems, methods and presents several illustrative case studies that will demonstrate
the integration of physical and social science disciplines in its work."--Jacket
