Goal 2: Zero Hunger

Zero Hunger aims to end hunger, achieve food security, improve nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture. It recognises that access to safe, nutritious, and sufficient food is a fundamental human right.

This goal addresses the challenges of food insecurity and malnutrition, which affect millions of people worldwide, particularly in low-income and developing countries. The goal emphasises the need to increase agricultural productivity, promote sustainable and resilient farming practices, and enhance the capacity of small-scale farmers. It also calls for investment in rural infrastructure, research, and technology to improve agricultural productivity and reduce post-harvest losses.

Goal 2 aims to ensure that all individuals, especially the most vulnerable populations, have access to nutritious food throughout the year. It also emphasises the importance of addressing the underlying causes of hunger, including poverty, inequality, conflicts, and climate change. By achieving this goal, societies can not only eradicate hunger but also improve overall health, break the cycle of poverty, and foster sustainable development for present and future generations.
