What is Zero Hunger? Unfortunately, world hunger is on the rise: according to an FAO report, 38 million more people were hungry in 2016 than in 2015. Every day, more than 800 million people are unable to get any kind of food and are at risk of dying of malnutrition. That's more than the inhabitants of Indonesia, the U.S. and Pakistan combined! The Zero Hunger mission aims to reduce this staggering figure to ZERO. Brazil was the first country to take up the challenge in 2003, when the government helped millions of people out of poverty and hunger. FAO has been helping countries fight hunger since 1945. Zero Hunger is still FAO's main mission and these are the ingredients needed to be successful: Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

ZERO HUNGER is the second of the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are supported by all of its Organizations. Countries, private companies, and citizens around the world will work to achieve the 17 goals by 2030, starting with poverty and hunger. This mission has seen the launch of exciting programs, many of which target families and small communities. They often involve training and the sharing of information and technology. In fact, studying is the best way to learn how to harness resources and improve livelihoods: studying the land, new farming technologies, climate change, and what can threaten people's health. It is also important to study how advanced technologies can support weaker individuals, as well as society at large. Indeed, it takes every single ingredient to complete the recipe!

1. Food security: ensuring everyone has access to healthy food, every day. Our planet is capable of feeding us but it is up to human beings to distribute food equitably, leaving no one empty-handed! 2. Healthy eating: make sure everyone gets the nutrients to be healthy by promoting responsible and environmentally friendly eating habits. In this way, the balance can be restored between those who eat too much or incorrectly and those who do not have enough food. 3. Sustainable agriculture: the use of fields, forests, seas and all natural resources essential for food production without harming the planet. Sustainable, because food production must be respectful of the environment, as well as all the people and animals who live there, otherwise our resources will not last long! 4. Poverty elimination: poverty is often the direct cause of malnutrition, even in countries where supermarkets are full of food. People who cannot afford healthy food, or food in general, tend to get sick more easily. In essence, a healthy lifestyle is the result of economic and social progress!

What is hunger?

Hunger is an uncomfortable or painful physical sensation caused by insufficient consumption of dietary energy. It becomes chronic when the person does not consume a sufficient amount of calories (dietary energy) on a regular basis to lead a normal, active and healthy life. For decades, FAO has used the Prevalence of Undernourishment indicator to estimate the extent of hunger in the world, thus “hunger” may also be referred to as undernourishment.

What is food insecurity?

A person is food insecure when they lack regular access to enough safe and nutritious food for normal growth and development and an active and healthy life. This may be due to unavailability of food and/or lack of resources to obtain food. Food insecurity can be experienced at different levels of severity. FAO measures food insecurity using the Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES) shown below:

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.

THINGS TO DOFind a Goal 2 charity you want to support. Any donation, big or small, can make a difference!

Buy local and in-season food. Try to grow some of your own food. Don’t waste food. Freeze fresh produce and leftovers if you don’t have the chance to eat them before they go bad.

Buy Funny Fruit—many fruits and vegetables are thrown out because their size, shape, or color are not “right”. Buying these perfectly good funny fruit, utilizes food that might otherwise go to waste

Consume less meat and become vegetarian for one day a week. The meat production industry has a huge impact on the environment.

Building the #ZeroHunger Generation is a resources portal for teachers, parents or anyone involved in educational activities. The portal supports educators in preparing classes on important global issues at the core of FAO’s work. #ZeroHunger is built on a respect for food, for the people who produce it, for where it comes from and most importantly, for those who go without. Passing on this knowledge and mind-set to the next generation is vital for our one future of food. Together we can build the #ZeroHunger Generation!

The Asia-Pacific region is home to more than half a billion (62 percent) of the world’s undernourished people and over 100 million stunted children, resulting in the suffering of millions and, all too often, premature death.This is unacceptable in a region which has been showing strong economic growth in recent decades. It is also home to a vast majority of the world’s smallholder farmers who presently produce enough food for all.

every year a third of the food is wasted, but explaining food also wastes all the work behind it. 28% of the food that comes from agricultural land and that is wasted, occupies the same dimensions as those of the territories of China, Mongolia and Kazakhstan. Or, all the wasted water, occupies the annual flow of the Zambezi or Volga River. forests marine habitats are lost along with their biodiversity. wasted food emits 3.3 gigatons of greenhouse gases. We have to do something to prevent so much waste: -farmers can invest better harvesting technology so there is no food loss -Food not suitable for humans may be given to animals -Food not eaten could be stored in bags -portions in restaurants may be smaller -expiry dates should be checked so that food is perfectly safe
