Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET) monitors drought, crop production, food prices and other indicators in order to forecast food insecurity in more than 30 countries.

The project employs researchers in the U.S. and across the globe to provide eight-month projections of where food crises will emerge.

The site of the project is down, and its treasure trove of data underpinned global analysis on food security used by researchers around the world has been pulled offline.

Scientists say pulling the data from the US disrupts other research and famine-prevention work conducted by universities and governments across the globe.

“It compromises our models, and our ability to provide accurate forecasts of ground water use,” Denis Muthike , a Kenyan scientist and assistant research professor at UC Boulder , told CNN .
