Synopsis (short abstract) Increasing responsible investments in agriculture and food systems is widely recognized today as vital for securing adequate food and nutrition, poverty reduction and sustainable development. Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG1 to end poverty in all its forms everywhere and SDG2, to end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture by 2030 will not be possible without greater, more accountable, ethical, informed and sustainable investment in the areas of most need.
