Abstract

The UN 2030 Agenda for sustainable development provides a valuable framework to put sustainability at the heart of a wide range of human activities. Ten years to this achievement, the United Nations “Decade of Action” calls for fast-tracking viable answers to current challenges in the world in which poverty, gender, climate change and inequality are topmost (United Nations, 2015). The “Decade of Action” on the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Goal 2: Zero Hunger provides opportunities for Food Security and Nutrition to champion new drives to eradicate all forms of hunger and malnutrition which could be in the form of loss or lack of micronutrient, issues around overweight and obesity as well as avenues to reduce diet-related illness (United Nations, 2015).
