Ceres2030 calls for US$330bn extra funding to end global hunger (Nutrition Insight) 

October 13, 2020


Nutrition Insight published an article that stated approximately US$330 billion is needed in additional funding over the next decade to end global hunger by 2030, requiring the donor community to double its current spending. Using artificial intelligence (AI) to scan half a million research papers on investment funding, the newly published Ceres2030: Sustainable Solutions to End Hunger report has found that doubling financial aid could also result in doubled incomes of smallholder farmers and limited agricultural emissions in line with the Paris climate agreement. Senior Research Fellow David Laborde stated “Producing food is not enough. The world, even this year, has plenty of food. Providing access to this food is another challenge: people need income in the form of purchasing power. The system needs infrastructure – roads, airports, and food safety inspectors – to operate.”
