10. Equitable access to adequate food and nutrition for all
Food and nutrition security must ensure that vulnerable individuals, households, communities, and fragile regions experiencing crisis levels of food insecurity can meet their nutritional needs, thereby ending hunger and malnutrition in all its forms, while recognizing that climate change will further exacerbate these risks.
How this solution relates to the action agenda
Axis: Transforming Agriculture and Food Systems
Key Objective: 10. Equitable access to adequate food and nutrition for all
Over 730 million people worldwide face hunger, and 4 billion people suffer from micronutrient deficiencies. Malnutrition is pervasive globally and disproportionately affects women and children, contributing to over 3 million child deaths annually. War, rising food prices, and climate change are exacerbating food and nutrition insecurity. At both national and international levels, coordinated action - including support for vulnerable regions and communities - is required to achieve hunger and malnutrition targets.
