Feeding the Future: India’s Road to Zero Hunger

Abstract

Zero Hunger, the second goal of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), aims to end hunger, achieve food security, improve nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture. Despite global progress, over 700 million people still face chronic hunger, with conflict, climate change, economic instability, and unequal access to resources driving food insecurity. Achieving Zero Hunger requires coordinated efforts across multiple sectors—boosting smallholder productivity, reducing food waste, enhancing food distribution systems, and addressing the root causes of poverty.
