Tell Congress to Support the Zero Hunger Challenge

The Zero Hunger Challenge was launched by United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in 2012. The Zero Hunger vision reflects five elements from within the SDGs, which taken together, can end hunger, eliminate all forms of malnutrition, and build inclusive and sustainable food systems. The ZHC has contributed to a changed narrative. It has inspired action at country level and contributed to ensuring that food and nutrition security and sustainable agriculture have remained high on the global development agenda. It has encouraged all to work together towards ending hunger.

A lasting end to hunger and malnutrition cannot be achieved in isolation; achieving Zero Hunger calls for realizing the totality of the 2030 Agenda in ways that benefit everyone, everywhere. Mirroring the integrated nature of the 2030 Agenda, the ZHC promotes integrated approaches that respond to the multiple, interconnected causes of hunger and malnutrition. The comprehensiveness of the approach reflects the reality of the challenges people face everywhere as they seek better agriculture and food systems that deliver improved nutrition and sustainable and resilient rural communities. It appreciates the role of food systems in safeguarding ecosystems and biodiversity and promoting climate justice.

Grounded in the right of everyone to have access to adequate, safe and nutritious food, the Zero Hunger vision can significantly contribute to the massive transformations needed to deliver on this ambitious Agenda. Tell Congress to support the Zero Hunger Challenge today! As Americans, we are the shining light of hope to the world and its up to us to end world hunger.
