Book (stand-alone)Trade and Sustainable Development Goal 2 – Policy options and their trade-offs 2020
Also available in:
No results found.With trade recognized as a means of implementation under Agenda 2030, policy-makers will need to ensure that trade, and policies affecting trade and markets, are taken into consideration as part of their efforts to achieve SDG 2. The five targets that set out the level and ambition of SDG 2 (ending hunger; ending all forms of malnutrition; doubling the agricultural productivity and incomes of small-scale food producers; ensuring sustainable food production systems; and maintaining genetic diversity), as well as trade itself, often constitute distinct policy priorities for governments. Trade and related policy measures that may be designed to achieve one target can potentially have unintended negative consequences that undermine the achievement of other targets, both within the country where the measure is applied and in the trading partner countries. It is therefore important that policy-makers identify and recognize areas in which difficult tradeoffs may be needed between competing policy objectives, and identify possible ways in which these can be addressed. Furthermore, while the different targets set out under SDG 2 are mutually interdependent and inter-related, it is important to address the trade policy dimension of each component individually as part of a broader plan of action. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetEvaluation of FAO’s contributions to Sustainable Development Goal 2
Support to fair and informed commodity markets and international trade in agriculture
2021Also available in:
No results found.The 2030 Agenda acknowledges that transparent, undistorted and properly functioning food and agricultural markets are an essential element in the global effort to end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture (Sustainable Development Goal 2 [SDG 2]). This review examines how FAO supports transparent and inclusive commodity markets and international food and agricultural trade, contributing to the achievement of SDG 2. It was conducted primarily through a review of key documents and interviews with stakeholders. The study found that FAO contributes to the proper functioning of agricultural markets, in particular, by facilitating timely access to market information (SDG target 2.c), ensuring greater transparency in international commodity markets, and providing regular and timely updates on crop conditions, price movements and global supply and demand. FAO’s contribution is aided by comparative advantages arising from its extensive data architecture, involvement in strategic partnerships, reputation as a neutral forum and broad agricultural commodity and country coverage, among other things. The study reveals a need for greater support in the areas of inclusiveness, equality and capacity building in agricultural trade. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetSupporting Sustainable Development Goal SDG 2.1 Monitoring by Strengthening Food Security and Nutrition Information in Africa GCP/GLO/943/JP
Improving data collection and analysis to monitor progress towards the SDG targets using robust, statistically sound indicators for food and nutrition security
2022Also available in:
No results found.As African countries race against time to end hunger by 2030, improved country data is critical in tracking progress toward achieving Sustainable Development Goals 2 on zero hunger, nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture. The indicators used to monitor progress towards achievement of SDG 2 is the Prevalence of Undernourishment (PoU) and the Prevalence of moderate and severe food insecurity based on the Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES). However, the quality of data produced by countries that is necessary to produce these indicators has historically been limited. FAO is enhancing national capacities to collect, analyze and monitor data on food and nutrition security using standardized tools that are internationally comparable to guide policies to end hunger and malnutrition.
