SDG 2

Question 1

SDG 2 description

Answer 1

SDG 2 seeks to end hunger and malnutrition by ensuring all people have access to a reliable food supply. This also involves assisting farmers to improve their agricultural practices in order to increase yield and sustainability.

Question 2

How it can work towards improving human development globally?

Answer 2

Human development
• Well nourished children can attend school and concentrate effectively to develop to their full potential. Through going to school they will have enhanced knowledge and increase their capabilities.
• Well nourished adults will have adequate energy to be able to work productively to earn income for a decent standard of living. Through this ability to attend work they are also participating effectively in the community.

Question 3

How is SDG 2 related to SDG 3?

Answer 3

• Through ensuring to end all forms of malnutrition, children will be well-nourished which leads them to have more developed immune systems and are significantly less likely to die from communicable diseases such as diarrhoea, malaria and tuberculosis reducing under 5 mortality rate.

If pregnant women are consuming adequate diet, this reduces the global maternal mortality rates from deficency diseases,prevents birth complications and reduces cases of low birth weight, therefore reducing global u5MR.

Question 4

Why is it important?

Answer 4

If people are suffering from malnutrition they have less energy and will weaken their immune system leading to higher morbidity rates from infectious diseases.

In low and middle income countries people depend on agriculture for their nutritional needs and farmers for their income.without unsustainable agriculture, more people are at risk of malnutrition and farmers are at risk of financial risk.

Question 5

How it can work towards improving health and well being globally?

Answer 5

Lower levels of malnutrition in both children and adults improves immune system functioning and therefore reduces mortality rates of of disease such as malaria, diarrhea .

Sustainable agriculture means farmers will not be in financial strain which reduces stress and promotes mental H&WB
