Sustainable Development Goal 2

在2017年,估计821 million peoplewere undernourished, up from 784 million in 2015. The following year, climate disasters forced an additional 29 million into acute food insecurity. Solutions to end hunger must address not only immediate needs, but also future food needs as the global population, now at 7 billion, soars to an estimated9.7 billion people by 2050.

End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture

WRI’s Food Program conducts research and catalyzes action to help the world feed nearly 10 billion people by 2050 in a manner that advances economic development and food security while reducing the food system’s pressure on the environment, especially its climate impacts.

Published by WRI in collaboration with the World Bank, UNEP and UNDP, the landmark World Resources Report (WRR) “Creating a Sustainable Food Future” proposes a menu of solutions to sustainably feed the planet. Among them are boosting farmers’ yields (including smallholder farmers) on their existing agricultural lands (Target 2.3), increasing investment in orphan crops that would improve nutrition in Africa and Asia (Target 2.2), and improving access to resources (capacity, finance, secure tenure) to help farmers and fishers improve productivity (Target 2.3).

结合在一起,解决方案的菜单将帮助农业部门将温室气体排放量减少至少三分之二,并避免自然生态系统的进一步转化(目标2.4)。这将帮助农场社区对气候变化更具弹性(目标2.4)。必威官网是真的吗

WRI还在促进减少粮食损失和浪费的行动,这是结束饥饿的主要策略(目标2.1)。WRI协调Food Loss and Waste Protocol,它已成为全球标准,并召集了Champions 12.3, a global coalition of public and private sector leaders championing action. Examples include a commitment by the world’s largest rice producers to halve on-farm and near-farm rice losses by 2030, $1 billion in World Bank bonds dedicated to food loss and waste, a “FLW Solutions Accelerator” that connects financing with young entrepreneurs offering food loss and waste technology solutions in Africa and Asia, and efforts by some of the world’s largest food companies to support their suppliers in reducing near farm food losses.
