Zero Hunger - End
hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture. THE ZERO HUNGER CHALLENGE • The Zero Hunger Challenge was launched by United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in 2012. The Zero Hunger vision reflects five elements from within the SDGs, which taken together, can end hunger, eliminate all forms of malnutrition, and build inclusive and sustainable food systems. • 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. If we promote sustainable agriculture with modern technologies and fair distribution systems, we can sustain the whole world’s population and make sure that nobody will ever suffer from hunger again Statistics - Around the world • Current estimates are that nearly 690 million people are hungry, or 8.9 percent of the world population – up by 10 million people in one year and by nearly 60 million in five years. • The majority of the world’s undernourished – 381 million – are still found in Asia. More than 250 million live in Africa, where the number of undernourished is growing faster than anywhere in the world. • In 2019, close to 750 million – or nearly one in ten people in the world – were exposed to severe levels of food insecurity. • An estimated 2 billion people in the world did not have regular access to safe, nutritious and sufficient food in 2019. • If recent trends continue, the number of people affected by hunger will surpass 840 million by 2030, or 9.8 percent of the global population. • 144 million children under age 5 were affected by stunting in 2019, with three quarters living in Southern Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. • In 2019, 6.9 per cent (or 47 million) children under 5 were affected by wasting, or acute undernutrition, a condition caused by limited nutrient intake and infection.
