Uniting Science and Policy to End Hunger

A conversation on Sustainable Development Goal 2 presented by Nature Research

22 October 2020 – 13:00-15:30 GMT – Register now

Ten percent of the world’s population are currently undernourished. To achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 2 (SDG2) of zero hunger by 2030, profound changes to our global food and agricultural systems must be made. Much of the future increase in food demand will come from sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia; regions that remain hotspots of hunger and poverty.  What interventions then will be effective in transforming the lives and incomes of rural farmers and what will be the cost of ending hunger sustainably?

This free, online event — organised by Nature Research to coincide with new, evidence-based syntheses from the Ceres2030 consortium  — will bring researchers and decision-makers together to discuss and align the policy agenda.

The event will be of interest to social and agricultural scientists in research and development organisations, donors and other agencies who are working to achieve better connections between science and policy, and other stakeholders sophisticated in issues of science who are engaged in agricultural development, poverty eradication and sustainable agriculture.

We have less than ten years to work together as a global community to transform food systems to deliver sustainable, nutritious and healthy diets for all people. The clock is ticking.
