Introduction to SDG 2: Zero Hunger Zero Hunger (SDG 2) is a global commitment to eradicate hunger and malnutrition, ensuring that every person has access to safe, nutritious, and sufficient food year-round. This goal addresses the root causes of food insecurity, focusing on promoting sustainable agricultural practices, supporting small-scale farmers, and improving food systems to boost productivity and resilience, especially in vulnerable communities. Achieving Zero Hunger not only involves increasing food production but also prioritizes equitable food distribution, reducing food waste, and strengthening local economies to create a world where everyone thrives with adequate nutrition.

After more than 10 years working in the area of food and agriculture, I continue to realize how food is literally connected to all essential aspects of our lives: from climate to biodiversity, nutrition, health, gender and energy to just name a few. With progress stalling towards the Sustainable Development Goals and dire predictions when it comes to the future of our planet, what is the way forward? Have a read at this thought provoking op-ed Francine Pickup (UNDP Deputy Assistant Administrator) wrote for El Pais, with big kudos to the UNDP Food & Agricultural Commodity Systems team: https://lnkd.in/er3AmKUE If food security remains a primary goal we need to step up delivery on, if we are to change food systems for good and restore our relationship with Nature we need to prepare for future shocks, boosting resilience of our interconnected, yet fragile world. #SDGs #FoodSystemsResilience

An Invocation to Take Up Arms in the Fight Against Starvation By 2024, 733 million people would still be hungry globally, with over 2.33 billion facing food insecurity and 74.4% unable to pay for a healthy diet. Many of these individuals live in rural areas where economic shocks, conflict, and climate change exacerbate food shortages. Why is this happening? The world has been coping with a number of issues, including the pandemic's aftermath, environmental disasters, and economic challenges. The additional 122 million hungry people since 2019 brought an end to the global campaign to end hunger by 2030. More than twice the average number of people worldwide—nearly one in five—experience hunger, particularly in Africa. Here at "Nourish the Nation," we want to raise awareness of these problems and support legislative initiatives that address the root causes of food insecurity. We believe that reforming communities, schools, and policies may lead to genuine transformation. How are you able to help? * Encourage local food sharing programs and food banks. * Promote laws that will make it easier to get wholesome, reasonably priced food. * Minimize food waste and promote sustainable eating. * By promoting environmentally friendly farming methods. * Assisting regional food systems * Promoting fair food policy Come along with us as we nourish the world as well as our communities. By working together, we can create a future in which no one goes hungry and inspire others. #FeedTheNation #Sustainability #GlobalAction #EndHunger #FoodSecurity #FoodSecurity2024 #ActNow #ZeroHunger

👀 𝑺𝒏𝒆𝒂𝒌 𝑷𝒆𝒆𝒌 Despite producing enough food for 10 billion people, one in ten still go to bed hungry, and three billion can't afford a nutritious diet. Addressing this crisis requires urgent, coordinated, and future-focused solutions. 📈 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐞 In 2022, 258 million people faced acute food insecurity, up from 193 million in 2021.

As Lucy from Kenya Red Cross says, "We need solutions that move us forward in new ways because the challenges we now face are not the same old challenges."By leveraging foresight, we can work towards a future where food security is a reality for all.

Food insecurity issue! The world is capable of producing enough food to feed everyone; the issue is that not everyone can access the food that's being produced. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), in 2022, 691– 783 million people in the world faced hunger, which is 122 million more than in 2019 before the COVID-19 pandemic. In fact, 345 million of those people are facing acute levels of hunger, including starvation. Worldwide - * An estimated 50 million people around the world are currently facing emergency levels of hunger and urgently need assistance.  * One in every 10 people on earth is unsure where their next meal will come from.  * Global hunger has risen by 119% since 2019.  source: By Akindare Lewis, August 2, 2023, Global Citizen Explains
