Editing Hunger (section)

==== Sustainable Development Goal 2 (SDG 2 or Goal 2) ====
The objective of [[Sustainable Development Goal 2|SDG 2]] is to "end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote [[sustainable agriculture]]" by 2030. SDG2 recognizes that dealing with hunger is not only based on increasing food production but also on proper markets, access to land and technology and increased and efficient incomes for farmers.<ref>{{Cite web|last=sdg indicators|first=end hunger|title=Goal 2: End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture|url=https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/report/2017/goal-02/|access-date=23 September 2020|archive-date=29 September 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220929104608/https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/report/2017/goal-02/|url-status=live}}</ref>

A report by the [[International Food Policy Research Institute]] (IFPRI) of 2013 argued that the emphasis of the SDGs should be on eliminating hunger and under-nutrition, rather than on poverty, and that attempts should be made to do so by 2025 rather than 2030.<ref name="IFPRI2013">Fan, Shenggen and Polman, Paul. 2014.

Washington, D.C.: International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI).</ref> The argument is based on an analysis of experiences in Russia, China, Vietnam, Brazil, and Thailand and the fact that people suffering from severe hunger face extra impediments to improving their lives, whether it be by education or work. Three pathways to achieve this were identified: 1) agriculture-led; 2) social protection- and nutrition- intervention-led; or 3) a combination of both of these approaches.<ref name="IFPRI2013"/>
