Sustainable Development Goal 2: Ending Hunger in Zambia
In Zambia, 35% of children under five are stunted due to chronic malnutrition. Achieving SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) is not just about having enough food—it's about ensuring access to nutritious food that fuels healthy growth, development, and resilience.
What We Can Do
1. Promote local, nutritious foods such as millet, sorghum, beans, and traditional vegetables that are rich in nutrients and climate-resilient.
2. Support nutrition-sensitive agriculture, ensuring food systems prioritize healthy diets.
3. Encourage community programs on breastfeeding and proper child feeding practices.
4. Advocate for policies that reduce malnutrition and invest in sustainable food production.
Ending hunger in Zambia starts with improving nutrition for every household.
