By 2030 the world is expected to achieve its goal of ending hunger and it is unknown whether powerful people can explain the gap. More than two years ago, the international community promised to make hunger the second of the 17 sustainable development goals (SDG). Since then, personal success and reform has been done, but there is little overall evidence that governments in developed and developing countries are mobilizing to eliminate hunger. If there is, the goal is to slip further from the field of view.

It has been officially approved for one year from the sustainable development goal ("global goal"), but today there are more than 795 million hungry people in the world. Zero starvation is one of the central objectives of the agenda of 2030 and will be emphasized at events outside the conference entitled "The Road to Zero Hunger" held on Thursday 22 September. Ban Ki-moon, secretary general, sponsored by the Roman Agency (World Food Program, Food and Agriculture Organization and International Agricultural Development Fund), aims to "fight hunger, achieve food security and improve nutrition" and support for zero hanger challenge Focus on collecting. To promote sustainable agriculture "

The new evidence of this year confirms the increase in world hunger observed in last year's report and that if we want to achieve all forms of world hunger and malnutrition by 2030, we need more action I'm warning you. In the latest estimate, the number of victims is indicated. The number of people who got hungry has increased in the past three years and will return to the current level from 10 years ago. Progress continues to reduce children's growth inhibition, but over 22% of children under 5 are still affected. Other malnutrition is also increasing. Obesity in adults continues to rise in income levels in various countries, and many countries simultaneously cope with multiple malnutrition such as overweight, obesity, female anemia, children's development inhibition and exhaustion. According to last year's report, the failure to reduce the world's hunger is closely related to the intensified conflict and violence in several parts of the world.
