| Abstract: | We are living in a world with a lot of inequalities: while people in the wealthiest countries in the world have access to running water, electricity, and gas for heating, over 800 million people are suffering from hunger, who are underfed or badly fed, and one in three people are not sure to get adequate food every day (United Nations, 2022, July 25). These figures have not changed since 2016. The sustainable development goals were elaborated in 2015, and the Millennium Development Goals before them were signed in 2000. We wanted to reduce hunger and malnutrition, and now we're targeting eliminating them by 2030. The second objective of the SDGs also includes doubling agricultural productivity and reducing food insecurity. |
