14 Jul 2020 --- Global hunger rates are on the rise, despite the UN’s aim to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 2 (Zero Hunger) by 2030. This is the primary concern raised in the annual State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World (SOFI) report published this week. The Ceres2030: Sustainable Solutions to End Hunger project used data from the UN report to highlight that an additional US$10 billion is urgently needed to prevent millions more people becoming food insecure due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
