SDG 2 In Action

SDG 2 aims to end hunger, achieve food security, improve nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture by 2030. Despite progress in reducing hunger, millions of people still suffer from food insecurity, malnutrition, and poor access to nutritious food. This goal focuses on increasing food production in sustainable ways, improving agricultural practices, and ensuring equitable access to food for all.

This page shares stories and examples of our commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals and Zero Hunger.
