Zero Hunger: A Primer on Sustainable Development Goal 2

The EO4SDG Initiative, in collaboration with the GEO Secretariat and CEOS, developed a primer on Sustainable Development Goal 2, End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture.

One of the significant objectives of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and associated Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is to end hunger and food insecurity. This means promoting a path towards sustainable food and agricultural production while safeguarding plant and animal genetic resources. It also means ensuring that people who are suffering from hunger and malnutrition have access to nutritious food.

This primer offers an introduction to SDG 2 (“Zero Hunger”); a description of progress since the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) Agenda; an overview of the enabling environment – key stakeholders, institutions, governance and partnerships; and a summary of the role of data, including Earth observations and geospatial information, in enabling transformation across sectors and contributing to a zero hunger society.
