Introduction: Setting the scene

The eradication of hunger and all forms of malnutrition is central to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). SDG 2 focuses specifically on ending hunger, achieving food security, improving nutrition and promoting sustainable agriculture by 2030. Attaining Zero Hunger implies leaving no-one behind regarding hunger and all forms of malnutrition. Achieving the Zero Hunger vision under Agenda 2030 requires food systems that are economically efficient, socially inclusive and environmentally sustainable. To ensure that everyone has access to sufficient nutritious food today and tomorrow, requires widespread promotion of sustainable agriculture and conservation of biodiversity; enhanced livelihoods of smallholder farmers, including fishers, foresters and pastoralists; and increased investment in agriculture, markets, agribusinesses and related infrastructures.
