Synopsis (short abstract) This flyer gives a brief description of the status of the work to attain SDG 2, Zero Hunger, in the Asia Pacific region. In this region, the fight against hunger has stalled and even reversed in some areas. In fact, Asia and the Pacific is home to a majority of the world's hungry people - more than half-a-billion. While famine is no longer a major issue for most countries, hunger takes on other forms in the sense that the diets of millions do not include enugh nutritents for them to lead a healthy life.

    The Ministerial RoundTable on Zero Hunger was a ministerial segment in thirty-fourth session of the FAO Regional Conference for Asia and the Pacific (APRC) which was held in Nadi, Fiji on 12 April 2018. The objective of the Ministerial Round Table was to generate political commitment to achieve SDG 2 and translate it into actions that would benefit smallholders as well as a larger population in the region. It served to: (i) create greater awareness among Members and partners regarding the scope and achievements of the regional Zero Hunger policy processes and initiatives; and (ii) provided an overview of the regional approaches taken to address gaps and challenges to maximize impact. This event demonstrated progress made towards the Zero Hunger vision at regional and country levels, as well as the successes to date in SDG 2, achieved with support from FAO in collaboration with the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and the World Food Programme (WFP).
