FAO suggests doubled investment needed to end hunger by 2030 (Agri-Pulse)

October 14, 2020


Agri-Pulse published an article on the report from Ceres2030 on ending hunger by the year 2030. The article stated that donors in the fight against hunger would need to spend an additional $14 billion on average each year between now and 2030 to help end hunger, an amount that is roughly double the current investment. This conclusion comes from the Ceres2030: Sustainable Solutions to End Hunger (from IFPRI, Cornell University, FAO, the International Institute for Sustainable Development) that wrote, “Donors make interventions that are evidence-based and designed to support each other, including investing in agricultural R&D, supporting social protection programs that provide food or cash to those in aide, and driving inclusion, such as through improving female literacy and providing training for rural youth,” particularly in Africa south of the Sahara and South Asia.
