What is global hunger and sustainability of food?
Answers
Answer:
The target of a zero-hunger world by 2030 is under threat. Despite the promise of global leaders in 2015 to end hunger and poverty and to reduce inequality, hunger rates are on the rise again, fuelled by the twin scourges of conflict and climate change. In this guest blog, Hisham Badr, president of the UN World Food Programme (WFP), tells us how the WFP is helping to build sustainable food systems in areas plagued by conflict.
Humanitarian organisations have been on the ground in the worst-affected countries for decades, providing food and other assistance year after year. The fact that hunger is rising again tells us that this stop-gap approach is not working. It is clearer than ever that we must address the root causes of poverty and hunger if we are to bring about real change.
The development of sustainable food systems is a key target under SDG 2, the goal of zero hunger. The WFP—whose governing Executive Board I am proud to lead—is uniquely positioned to contribute to this critical aim. Over the years, WFP has steadily increased the share of food procured locally. By injecting cash into local economies, WFP has strengthened smallholders’ livelihoods and the sustainability of food systems by supporting land restoration or business training for farmers and traders
