The Second Objetive Zero Hunger

The document discusses sustainable agriculture as part of the solution to hunger and malnutrition. While progress has been made in reducing hunger, over 820 million people still suffer from chronic malnutrition. A world with zero hunger could positively impact health, education, equality and development. Individual actions like supporting local farmers and reducing food waste, as well as influencing companies and governments, can help achieve the goal of zero hunger.

WHAT IS HAPPENING?
Due to rapid economic growth and increased agricultural
productivity in the last two decades, the number of undernourished
people decreased by almost half. Many developing countries
suffering from famine are now able to meet the nutritional needs of
the most vulnerable. Regions such as Central and Eastern Asia and
Latin America and the Caribbean have made tremendous progress
in eradicating hunger.

Unfortunately, hunger and malnutrition remain major obstacles to


the development of many countries. An estimated 821 million
people suffered from chronic malnutrition by 2017, often as a direct
result of environmental degradation, drought and biodiversity loss.
More than 90 million children under the age of five have a
dangerously low weight. Malnutrition and food insecurity seems to
be increasing in almost all of Africa's regions, as in South America.
WHY SHOULD WE CARE?
A world with zero hunger can
positively influence our
economy, as well as in health,
education, equality and
general social development.
