The 2nd goal of the 2030 agenda is to end hunger, achieve

food security and promote sustainable agriculture. This goal is


extremely important because extreme hunger and malnutrition
mean less productive individuals who are unable to improve
their quality of life.
To give you some numbers, only in 2019 more than 690 million
of people were malnourished and if these trends continue the
situation is likely to deteriorate even further also due to the
COVID-19 pandemic.
There are so many hungry people out there mainly due to wars,
climate changes and declining food production and also the
recent pandemic was a huge blow.
We can achieve zero hunger with a multidimensional approach.
There will be needed investments especially in the agriculture
sector for improving food security and creating employment and
also in social protection so poor people can have access to
food.
All of this is because a world with zero hunger can positively
impact our economies, health, education, equality and social
development. And It’s a key piece for building a better future for
everyone.
We can help the cause by supporting local farmers or markets
and making sustainable food choices, we can also use our
power as a consumer and voter, to demand businesses and
governments to make the right choices.
