VAM
This is the United Nations World Food Program data visualisation website.
It gives access to data via "Explorers" such as "Seasonal" and "Economic".
- The Seasonal Explorer gives monthly rainfall and NDVI information by country and area 1.
- The Economic Explorer gives monthly food prices for different commodities at different market locations within the country.
It also has a weekly food bulletin accessible via Reliefweb
Reliefweb also issue other reports on a less regular basis
The Humanitarian Data Exchange (HDX) make food price data from the World Food Programme available for download and as a series of charts
Famine Early Warning Systems Network
This is a project of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (BHA).
FEWS NET provides:
Acute Food Security Phase: The Early Warning System provides quarterly assessments of the food status, as part of the Integrated Phase Control (IPC). This provides Food Security Outlook for the coming period based on the Acute Food Security Phase - five classes (Minimal, Stressed, Crises, Emergency, Famine).
Price Bulletins are produced monthly that provide graphs tracking the prices of commodities that are important locally (as pdf files). FEWS NET monitors trends in staple food prices in countries vulnerable to food insecurity; the Price Bulletin provides a set of charts showing monthly prices in the current marketing year in selected urban centres and allowing users to compare current trends with both five-year average prices, indicative of seasonal trends, and prices in the previous year. Archive files are available for past periods.

Strengthening Afghanistan Institutions' capacity for the Assessment of Agriculture Production and Scenario Development
www.fao.org/in-action/agricultural-assessment-scenario-afghanistan/en/
The "Strengthening Afghanistan Institutions' capacity for the Assessment of Agriculture Production and Scenario Development" project funded by the European Union (EU),is being implemented by the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock (MAIL) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).
The project aims to assess the impact of climate change on the scenarios of production and includes materials on capacity development and links to tools, resources and publications resulting from the project.

2020 Seasonal Food Security Assessment (SFSA) , surveyed 21,863 households across Afghanistan’s 34 provinces.

Integrated Context Analysis - World Food Programme
https://geonode.wfp.org/layers
The World Food Programme analysis generated from the Integrated Context Analysis provides a picture of the Food Insecurity for Afghanistan based on the sequence of National Risk and Vulnerability Analysis (NRVA) and Annual Living Condition Survey (ALCS) surveys undertaken by NSIA. It combines food security indicators with natural hazrard (drought, floods, landslides, erosion) information to provide a categorisation of the districts in Afghanistan that are most exposed to shocks and most food insecure and therefore most vulnerable. Download data from the WFP GeoNode website, for both the 2016 and 2019 analyses.
Additional analysis has been undertaken to chart the changing pattern of total food insecurity, based on the sequence of NRVA and ALCS surveys to generate measures of the recurrence of food insecurity (for Recurrence of Severe and Very Severe Food Insecurity 2018/19 and Recurrence of Total Food Insecurity 2018/19).
