COVID-19 pushes world “off track” to achieve Zero Hunger goal by 2030 (Nutrition Insight) 

July 14, 2020


Nutrition Insight published an article on ending hunger. Global hunger rates are on the rise, despite the UN’s aim to achieve SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) by 2030. This is the primary concern raised in the 2020 State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World (SOFI) report. A joint project by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD), IFPRI, and Cornell University), The Ceres2030: Sustainable Solutions to End Hunger project used data from the UN report to highlight that an additional US$10 billion is urgently needed to prevent millions more people becoming food insecure due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
