Background on SDG2

Hunger is defined as the condition in which a person cannot eat sufficient food to meet basic nutritional needs for a sustained period of time. Hunger occurs in most countries but the nature of the problem varies between different contexts (developed, developing countries). SDG2 is interconnected with many other SDGs as SDG1 ending poverty, SDG3 good health and well-being, SDG5 gender equality, SDG8 decent work and all environmentally related goals as the nature is the source of our food.

SDG2 covers a range of issues related to ending hunger including achieving food security, improving nutrition, supporting small scale farmers and promoting sustainable agriculture.
