SDG 2 - End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture
By 2030, end hunger and ensure access to safe, nutritious and sufficient food all year round.
How this Goal works as a Guide for our work
We fight hunger through seeds, farming and Magic Porridge.
How GIS supports our work
Map production and nutrition to target support.
2.1
By 2030, end hunger and ensure access to safe, nutritious and sufficient food all year round.
Ensure everyone has safe, nutritious food every day.
We fight hunger through seeds, farming and Magic Porridge.
Map production and nutrition to target support.
2.2
By 2030, end all forms of malnutrition, including the agreed targets on stunting and wasting in children under five, and address the needs of adolescent girls, pregnant and lactating women and older persons.
Stop malnutrition for children, mothers and older people.
We provide porridge, diversify crops and track recovery.
Map cases and food sources to plan feeding programmes.
2.3
By 2030, double the agricultural productivity and incomes of small-scale food producers, in particular women, through secure access to land, inputs, knowledge, finance and markets.
Help small farmers, especially women, increase yields and income.
We train farmers, provide seeds and connect to markets.
Map farms, crops and yields to focus support.
2.4
By 2030, ensure sustainable food production and resilient agriculture that maintain ecosystems and improve land and soil quality.
Make farming resilient while protecting land and ecosystems.
We back drought-tolerant crops, trees and soil protection.
Use Earth observation to monitor soil, vegetation and rainfall.
2.5
By 2020, maintain the genetic diversity of seeds, plants and animals, and promote fair and equitable sharing of benefits.
Protect seed and plant diversity and share benefits fairly.
We conserve local seeds and plant native trees.
Map native species and seed orchards.
2.A
Increase investment in rural infrastructure, research and extension, technology development and gene banks.
Invest in rural infrastructure, research and technology.
We link farmers to innovation and training.
Map roads, markets and training centres.
2.B
Correct and prevent trade restrictions and distortions in world agricultural markets, including eliminating harmful export subsidies.
Make agricultural trade fair and end harmful subsidies.
We build local value chains and fair market access.
Use GIS for value chain analysis.
2.C
Ensure proper functioning of food commodity markets and timely access to market information to help limit extreme price volatility.
Make food markets work and reduce price shocks.
We support community storage and transparent trade.
Track harvests and reserves with EO to anticipate shortages.
