One of the central aims of the 2021 UN Food Systems Summit (UNFSS) is focusing global attention on how transforming our food systems can contribute to meeting the Sustainable Development Goals—particularly Goal 2 and its key component of eliminating hunger by 2030.
The idea of a global fund dedicated to eliminating hunger has been put forward by several international leaders, such as Pope Francis. UNFSS Action Track One has taken an important step in this direction, championing a Zero Hunger Fund.
