Nearly 700 million people are hungry, or 9 percent of the
world population, and increasing. 135 million suffer from severe hunger largely
due to man-made conflicts, climate change, and economic downturns. The COVID-19 pandemic could now add 130 million
people at risk of suffering starvation.
The majority of the world’s undernourished are
still found in Asia and Africa. Also, an estimated 2 billion people in the
world did not have regular access to safe, nutritious, and sufficient food.
Swift action
needs to be taken to provide food and humanitarian relief to the most at-risk regions. Increasing
agricultural productivity and sustainable food production is crucial to help
relieve the perils of hunger.
Goal 2.1: By 2030, end hunger and ensure access by all people, in particular the poor
and people in vulnerable situations, including infants, to safe, nutritious,
and sufficient food all year round.
Goal 2.3: By 2030, double the agricultural productivity and incomes of small-scale food producers, in particular women,
indigenous peoples, family farmers, and fishers.
