Goal 2 : End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture
End hunger, achieve food security and improved
nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture
It is time to rethink how we grow, share and consume our food.If done right, agriculture, forestry and fisheries can provide nutritious food for all and generate decent incomes, while supporting people-centred rural development and protecting the environment.Right now, our soils, freshwater, oceans, forests and biodiversity are being rapidly degraded. Climate change is putting even more pressure on the resources we depend on, increasing risks associated with disasters such as droughts and floods. Many rural women and men can no longer make ends meet on their land, forcing them to migrate to cities in search of opportunities.A profound change of the global food and agriculture system is needed if we are to nourish today’s 795 million hungry and the additional 2 billion people expected by 2050.The food and agriculture sector offers key solutions for development, and is central for hunger and poverty eradication.

Goal 2 seeks sustainable solutions to end hunger in all its forms by 2030 and to achieve food security. The aim is to ensure that everyone everywhere has enough good-quality food to lead a healthy life.
ReplyDeleteAchieving this Goal will require better access to food and the widespread promotion of sustainable agriculture. This entails improving the productivity and incomes of small-scale farmers by promoting equal access to land, technology and markets, sustainable food production systems and resilient agricultural practices. It also requires increased investments through international cooperation to bolster the productive capacity of agriculture in developing countries.

we should try to not to waste food. There are many ways of saving food. it very important for us and our future generation because all of us need food to live and survive. if we'll not save food it can cause great lose of lives and land and waste on earth will increase.

Sustainable agriculture is farming in sustainable ways based on an understanding of ecosystem services, the study of relationships between organisms and their environment.
ReplyDeleteIn 2016, an estimated 52 million children under 5 years of age worldwide suffered from wasting (with a low weight for their height, usually the result of an acute and significant food shortage and/or disease). The global wasting rate in 2016 was 7.7 per cent, with the highest rate (15.4 per cent) in Southern Asia. At the other end of the spectrum, overweight and obesity affected 41 million children under 5 years of age worldwide (6 per cent) in 2016.
ReplyDeleteDevelopment Assistance Committee of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) fell from nearly 20 per cent in the mid-1980s to 7 per cent in the late 1990s, where it remained through 2015. The decline reflects a shift away from aid for financing infrastructure and production towards a greater focus on social sectors.
ReplyDeleteThe Zero Hunger Challenge: Transforming our Food Systems to Transform our World. ... The Zero Hunger vision reflects five elements from within the SDGs, which taken together, can end hunger, eliminate all forms of malnutrition, and build inclusive and sustainable food systems.
ReplyDeleteDespite decades of progress in reducing world hunger, 2017 saw increases in the number of people who are hungry. More than 800 million people still go to bed hungry every night — that’s one in every nine people who don’t have the food they need to live a healthy, productive life.
ReplyDeleteThe World Health Organization considers this to be the single greatest threat to global health. Hunger is cyclical and generational: it inhibits people’s ability to work and learn to their fullest potential, which can curb their future and trap them and their families in more poverty — and more hunger.
Steps taken to end hunger-
ReplyDeleteAgriculture: Connect farmers to the people and resources they need to increase production, feed their families and boost their incomes.
Sustainability: Help communities develop plans and skills to sustainably manage their resources to improve crop and livestock production.
Good Governance: Work with local governments and communities to develop just and inclusive policies that make it easier for people to access the resources they need to thrive.
Women’s Empowerment: Partner with women and girls to build agency, and work to foster a cultural environment that supports women’s independence and decision-making power to earn income and feed their families.
Health and Nutrition: Provide the resources, knowledge and skills needed to access and utilize clean water, employ hygienic practices and consume a diverse and nutritious diet.
Southern Asia had the second highest prevalence: around 25 per cent of adults there experienced moderate or severe food insecurity, and 12 per cent experienced severe levels.
ReplyDeleteHunger is the leading cause of death in the world. Our planet has provided us with tremendous resources, but unequal access and inefficient handling leaves millions of people malnourished. If we promote sustainable agriculture with modern technologies and fair distribution systems, we can sustain the whole world’s population and make sure that nobody will ever suffer from hunger again.
ReplyDeleteTHE TARGETS
#UNIVERSAL ACCESS TO SAFE AND NUTRITIOUS FOOD...
#END ALL FORMS OF MALNUTRITION...
#DOUBLE THE PRODUCTIVITY AND INCOMES OF SMALL-SCALE FOOD PRODUCERS.....
#ENSURE STABLE FOOD COMMODITY MARKETS AND TIMELY ACCESS TO INFORMATION.....
#MAINTAIN THE GENETIC DIVERSITY IN FOOD PRODUCTION.....
Anothet aim can be to correct and prevent trade restrictions amd distortions in world agricultural markets, including through the parallel elimimation of all forms of agricultural export subsidies and all export.
ReplyDeleteAdopt measures to ensure the proper functioning of food commodity Markets and their derivatives and facilitate timely access to market information including on food reserves in order to help limit extreme food price volatility.
ReplyDeleteBy 2030 ensure sustainable food production systems and implement Resilient agricultural practices that increase productivity and production, that help maintain ecosystems, that strengthen capacity for adaptation to climate change, extreme weather, draught, flooding and other disasters and that progressively improve land and soil quality.
ReplyDeleteBy 2030, maintain the genetic diversity of seeds, cultivated plants and farmed and domesticated animals and their related wild species, including through soundly managed and diversified seed and plant Banks at the national, regional and international level, and promote access to and fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the utilisation of genetic resources and associated traditional knowledge, as International agreed.

ReplyDeleteThe fight against hunger has seen some progress over the past 15 years. Globally, the proportion of undernourished people declined from 15 per cent in 2000-2002 to 11 per cent in 2014-2016.
ReplyDeleteBuy only what you need. Plan your meals, make a shopping list and stick to it, and avoid impulse buys. Not only will you waste less, you’ll also save money!
ReplyDeletePick ugly fruit and vegetables. Try some ugly fruit and vegetables and make use of food that might otherwise go to waste. Funny fruit or veg are often thrown away because they don’t meet cosmetic standards. But in fact, they taste the same, if not better.

ReplyDeleteRight now, our soils, freshwater, oceans, forests and biodiversity are being rapidly degraded. Climate change is putting even more pressure on the resources we depend on, increasing risks associated with disasters, such as droughts and floods. Many rural women and men can no longer make ends meet on their land, forcing them to migrate to cities in search of opportunities. Poor food security is also causing millions of children to be stunted, or too short for the ages, due to severe malnutrition.
A profound change of the global food and agriculture system is needed if we are to nourish the 815 million people who are hungry today and the additional 2 billion people expected to be undernourished by 2050. Investments in agriculture are crucial to increasing the capacity for agricultural productivity and sustainable food production systems are necessary to help alleviate the perils of hunger.
