SDG 2 : Zero hunger
No full textCOVID 19 has revealed the lingering weakness and inequalities in people’s access to adequate food and nutrition. The UN report on the State of Food Security and Nutrition in the Asia and Pacific region for 2020 shows that progress on achieving food security and nutrition have slowed. As a whole, the Asia-Pacific region is not on track to achieve the 2030 targets of zero hunger and access to safe, nutritious, and sufficient food for all. In the Asia and Pacific region, 1.9 billion people cannot afford a diverse food nor readily access fish, poultry, fruits, and vegetables, making it impossible for the poor to achieve healthy diets. COVID-19 and associated economic restrictions have exacerbated this situation with dire consequences for all people, particularly the poor and most vulnerable. COVID-19 is estimated to push an additional 24 million people into acute food insecurity in the region and globally contribute to a 14.3 percent increase in the prevalence of moderate or severe wasting among children under five years of age, equal to an additional 6.7 million children acutely malnourished.
Achieving SDG 2 requires an integrated systems approach, bringing together food, water and sanitation, health, social protection, and education systems to address the underlying and contributing factors of diets sustainably. Sustainable food systems play a critical role in achieving food and nutrition security for all. Concerted public and private action is needed to increase food access and utilization, improve food marketing and raise awareness and incentives to steer food consumption towards more diverse, healthy, and balanced diets by populations, especially women, children, and the urban poor. More fundamental shifts towards food systems policies and strategies aligning production, consumption, health, and resource management are required to improve nutrition and advance towards zero-hunger policies, fundamentally shift consumption patterns and production processes, improve waste management systems, and transition toward a more circular economy approach. Digitalization of the farm and rural economy offers a powerful accelerator of change toward more sustainable and resilient food systems that guarantee food security and nutrition.COVID 19 has revealed the lingering weakness and inequalities in people’s access to adequate food and nutrition.
