The goal of this particular initiative is to end hunger throughout the world. In addition, achieve widespread food security, improvement in nutrition, and promotion of sustainable agriculture (United Nations, 2024).

Importance of Goal:

Emphasizes adequate nutrition in the overall health of the individual (WHO, 2025)

Describing the negative effects of malnutrition on a population (WHO, 2025).

Acknowledges that at risk populations such as children, chronically ill, and pregnant women are at an increased risk of malnutrition; and steps are needed to properly aid in the mitigation of these risks (WHO, 2025).

Targets to be achieved by 2030:

End hunger crisis and ensure access to food by all individuals (with emphasis on vulnerable populations i.e. poor, children, pregnant women)

End Malnutrition and address nutritional needs

Increase agriculture productivity in producers that work on a smaller scale

Sustainable food production systems

Ensure food markets are being run productively and at a low cost

(United Nations, 2024).

Zero hunger: future challenges and the way forward towards the achievement of sustainable development goal 2 - Sustainable Earth Reviews

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Since 2020, the progress towards the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2– Zero Hunger has faced a sudden stall due to an ongoing “polycrisis”. While some countries are on track, a great effort is still globally necessary to achieve the SDG2 targets. Here we provide a brief background about SDG2, including its synergies and trade-offs with other SDGs. We then identify and discuss the main challenges that the pathway towards zero hunger will have to tackle. The lack of a systemic approach, together with the complex, global, and nested dimensions of food systems are identified as key elements to be carefully considered when designing sustainability strategies. This means that a variety of stakeholders are called to simultaneously and cooperatively act on multiple fronts to ensure a safe, equal, and just progress of all countries and populations towards the achievement of SDG2.

Climate crises continue to have a negative impact on food resources and increase food insecurity throughout impoverished populations (Sporchia et al., 2024).

Globally, an adoption of a 'systematic approach' to food security, health, and nutrition could potentially aid in a more widespread reduction of malnutrition and food access (Sporchia et al., 2024).

What new information was presented in the Article?

The impact of climate change on food insecurity is highlighted throughout the article. It is presented as being influential on the overall welling being of any given population. The effect of climate on overall health status was not previously discussed within the United Nations 'Zero Hunger' target.

1. Investments into small farms in rural areas to increase access to food and other resources ( United Nations , 2024). The government can allocate funds to varying regions to ensure all areas have equal access to food sources.

2. Individuals can utilize local food and agriculture, thus strengthening the food industry within their area. Food can be made readily available to populations by providing property allocated to food sources and growing .

3. Implement food systems and sustainable agricultural practices. The systems will enable maintenance of a stable ecosystem and proper allocation of resources (United Nations, 2024).

4. The prevention of trade restrictions within agricultural markets (United Nations, 2024). The lack of trade restrictions will allow for a more widespread distribution of agriculture between nations which can lead to a decrease in disparity.

5. The government can initiate data and assessment collections that monitor interventions. The monitoring will be able to track any success or downfalls that may need to be addressed in association with food equity and availability (Sporchia et al., 2024).

6. Emphasis can be placed on nutritional status in children, especially those in vulnerable locations, by providing access to healthy food options within school systems. The access to a variety of food options in the school setting can aid in addressing malnutrition amongst child population.

7. Governmental mandates can be enacted to manage food commodity markets in an effort to prevent inflation of food prices (United Nations, 2024). The monitoring of disparities among food prices can offer more access to impoverished countries and allow individuals access to resources that would have otherwise been unavailable.
