Goal 2: Zero hunger

SDG 2 aims to end all forms of hunger and malnutrition by 2030, making sure that all people, especially those in vulnerable situations, have sufficient nutritious food all year. It also aims to double agricultural productivity in next 15 years and generate decent incomes, while supporting people-centered rural development and protecting the environment. The role of measures such as promoting sustainable agriculture, supporting small-scale farmers and creating equal access to land, technology and markets is central to eradication of hunger and poverty. It also requires international cooperation to ensure investment in infrastructure and technology to improve agricultural productivity. This Goal has 8 targets to measure the availability of food, improvement in nutrition and promotion of sustainable agriculture. In the State Indicator Framework, there are 20 indicators enlisted for measuring the performance of State for this goal.
