No hunger (SDG2) - is aimed to eliminate hunger, ensure food security and improve nutrition, and promote sustainable agricultural development. 

SDG2 draws attention not only to ending hunger, but also to the importance of ensuring that all people have access to safe, nutritious and varied food. Achieving and maintaining sustainable agriculture through the introduction of sustainable production methods that help conserve natural resources and cope with the effects of climate change. Nutrition is another important task: access to safe and nutritious food must be guaranteed, which is especially important for the health and development of children. Equitable access to resources, including land, knowledge and technology, is also a key element. 

Hunger and malnutrition undermine health, economic development and social well-being. Solving these problems opens up new opportunities for growth and prosperity at the local and global levels.
