Zakho Center for Sustainable Development Goals

Overview

Hundreds of millions of people still go to bed hungry, while food systems put growing pressure on land, water and climate. SDG 2 aims to end hunger and malnutrition, double the productivity and income of small-scale food producers, and make agriculture sustainable and resilient.

Key targets
