Why is Education important for achieving No hunger?

In the middle of the 21st century it is very surprising that when we debate about
sustainable development goals, the topic of hunger can be seen as the second priority. It
has been difficult to crack the threshold of 800 million people afflicted by malnutrition.
In the first outbreak, food relief interventions should be directly implemented in
emergencies. Such conditions are typically occurring in very poor countries or countries
that are embroiled in war or natural disasters.
The big effort to avoid malnutrition, however, is focused on rural areas with 50 % of the
population worldwide and the vast majority living as livelihood farmers. The most
sustainable approach is the reduction of poverty in rural areas, which includes mixing
activities: on one hand, the enhancement of agriculture effectiveness and farming of
livelihoods, but also sustainable growth.
Throughout the 20th century, agrochemicals have been used to increase agricultural
efficiency, but today we have come to know that agricultural production models are
equally effective and can reduce the environmental impact and help biodiversity by using
the right tillage techniques.
After all, socio-cultural factors have to be taken into consideration. Malnutrition is, in
essence, a rural reality, and alternatives to the rural areas are connected: improving the
agricultural and forestry activities efficiency, promoting sustainability, and ensuring
biodiversity. Thus in rural communities, challenges and solutions are sought.
In the second objective, the United Nations' global sustainability seeks to ensure access
for everyone to affordable and sufficient food; it is determined to reach the 800 million
people limit, as was already achieved with 120 million.
The position of the responsible customer is very significant from an educational point of
view. In this regard, we need a strong and resilient social commitment, along with a
strong political action that will make it possible to change our way of thinking and
consider our connexion to food. Ultimately, we will begin to establish continuity when
researching our feeding choices to challenge other aspects, such as travel, holidays, our
homes, or how we view the environment and social ties. Training not only opens eyes to
the right to food but also makes it possible to consider the different factors involved and
what is more relevant in the exercise of this right and suggests behaviors which we can
integrate into our daily lives.
Education is important to obtaining the information necessary to improve agricultural
production and income, with respect for the environment, for the development of the
regions, and for the opportunities of small farmers in particular women and indigenous
peoples. Fixed and up-to-date information also helps avoid complications that could lead
to famines, such as drought, flooding, and other catastrophes.
