Global Goal 2: Zero Hunger
What is Hunger?
Hunger is the leading cause of death in the world. Our planet has provided us with tremendous resources, but unequal access and inefficient handling leaves millions of people malnourished.
Why does it matter?
Extreme hunger and malnutrition remains a barrier to sustainable development and creates a trap from which people cannot easily escape. Hunger and malnutrition mean less productive individuals, who are more prone to disease and thus often unable to earn more and improve their livelihoods.
There are nearly 800 million people who suffer from hunger worldwide, the vast majority in developing countries.
