GOAL 2: ZERO HUNGER
End hunger, achieve food security
and improved nutrition and
promote sustainable agriculture
(Credit Project Recovery, UNDP Philippines)
In the past 20 years, hunger has dropped by almost half. Many
countries that used to suffer from famine and hunger can now
meet the nutritional needs of their most vulnerable people. It’s
an incredible accomplishment.
Now we can go further and end hunger and malnutrition once
and for all. That means doing things such as promoting sustain-
able agriculture and supporting small farmers. It’s a tall order. But
for the sake of the nearly 1 out of every 9 people on earth who
go to bed hungry every night, we’ve got to try. Imagine a world
where everyone has access to sufficient and nutritious food all
year round. Together, we can make that a reality by 2030.
