Towards zero hunger
Food security is one of the biggest threats affecting not only the Commonwealth, but millions of people around the world. Contributing factors to global food insecurity include climate change, economic instability, conflicts and global health crises, resulting in severe impacts on public health and social and economic development.
Across the Commonwealth, the agriculture and fishing sectors play a vital role in supporting livelihoods, reducing inequalities, and combating hunger. By embracing innovation, collaboration, and evidence-based approaches, these sectors can help strengthen food systems and improve food security.
To support this goal, Commonwealth Alumni were invited to deliver community awareness activities addressing key food security issues, including malnutrition, poverty, climate-related risks to agriculture and fisheries, public health challenges, and sustainable food production.
