World Food Programme’s initiatives
Last week, Revd Rachel Carnegie, Co-Executive Director of the Anglican Alliance, attended a World Food Programme (WFP) event in London which highlighted the key steps to achieve SDG 2.
The World Food Programme has identified 5 key interventions or steps to Zero Hunger:.
Step 1: Put the furthest behind first – we must commit to leave no-one behind.
Step 2: Pave the road from farm to market – access to affordable, nutritious food is vital.
Step 3: Reduce the amount of food we waste from our plate and after harvest.
Step 4: Encourage a sustainable variety of crops – address over-dependence on a few staples.
Step 5: Make nutrition a priority – ensure every child reaches his or her full potential.
Rachel Carnegie, from the Anglican Alliance, said: “The goal to end hunger by 2030 is achievable, but it will take the commitment of all, to share what we have and to bring the best learning and practices to create a just and sustainable food system globally. Please pray for all those that hunger today, that they shall be filled – and that the world shall achieve zero hunger.”
