CPEUs = 1 CPEU, Level 2 (pending)

Registration link: https://eatright-org.zoom.us/meeting/register/jjJfvDYWSkam0gjSubU3dQ #/registration

Description
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
1) Explain the UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) #2 – Zero Hunger: End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture, including its targets and indicators.
2) Describe the contents of a proposed course on Zero Hunger (UN SDG #2)
3) Identify the benefits of a Zero Hunger (UN SDG #2) course for nutrition-related professional development.

Webinar Description:
This webinar will provide attendees with an introduction to the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goal Zero Hunger (UN SDG #2), including its different targets and indicators. An outline for a proposed course on Zero Hunger will be discussed, and participant feedback will be requested. The proposed course on Zero Hunger will allow students to explore both theoretical
and practical approaches to ending hunger, achieving food security and improved nutrition, and promoting sustainable agriculture. The proposed course will be highly interactive and participatory. Teaching strategies include critical reflection on real-world case studies and two course projects, consisting of organizing a solidarity campaign to achieve Zero Hunger (launched on World Food Day, October 16, 2026) and hosting an Oxfam Hunger Banquet. A final project will require students to work in small groups to develop a Zero Hunger roadmap for a city, state, or country applying a right to adequate food and nutrition framework.
