The United Nations created the 17 interrelated Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015 to address global issues like poverty, inequality, and environmental sustainability. By 2030, SDG 2, or “Zero Hunger,” seeks to accomplish food security, enhance nutrition, eradicate hunger, and advance sustainable agriculture. SDG 2 is pivotal as hunger remains one of the most significant global challenges, affecting millions of people worldwide. Hunger and malnutrition undermine human health, hinder economic development, and perpetuate cycles of poverty. In order to guarantee that everyone should have access to the food and nourishment they require to live healthy, productive lives, it is imperative that hunger be eradicated. Despite advances in agricultural productivity, hunger and malnutrition continue to plague many parts of the world. The COVID-19 pandemic and conflicts have exacerbated food insecurity, with millions of people pushed into extreme hunger. Addressing these issues requires a concerted global effort to improve food systems, enhance agricultural resilience, and ensure equitable access to food.
