Zero Hunger

Goal 2 seeks to end hunger, achieve food security, improve nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture. Despite advances, nearly 690 million people are still undernourished. It advocates for improved food production systems, access to nutritious food, and promoting sustainable farming practices. The goal also highlights the importance of resilience to climate change, particularly in vulnerable areas.

How can this SDG 2 be applied at PSBU?

Summary: This goal seeks to end hunger, achieve food security, and promote sustainable agriculture by improving food systems and supporting small-scale farmers.

• Research: Investigate sustainable agricultural practices and innovations to increase food security.
• Community: Support local farmers by hosting agricultural training programs.
• In-house: Create a campus-based food bank for food-insecure students and staff.
• Outreach: Partner with rural communities to improve nutrition education and farming techniques.
• Campus: Promote food waste reduction programs in campus dining services.

• Sustainable Agriculture Programs: Implement community-based agricultural projects where students and faculty work with rural farmers to improve crop yields using sustainable farming techniques.
• Campus Food Security Initiatives: Create campus-based food banks or community kitchens that support food-insecure students and staff while reducing food waste.
• Research on Nutrition: Conduct studies on malnutrition and food security, with a focus on vulnerable populations. The findings can inform government policies and strategies for combating hunger.
