Sustainable Development Goals

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

Although significant progress has been made towards meeting food security and nutritional needs in Asia and the Pacific, hunger and malnutrition persist. Children below the age of 5 years are especially vulnerable to food insecurity and malnutrition. Solutions for ending hunger, reducing food insecurity, and eliminating malnutrition require widespread promotion of sustainable agriculture, increased investment in agriculture, and better access to food.
