A growing global population with deteriorating natural resources and increased urbanization means more people to feed with less water, farmland and rural labour. Today, the world wastes or loses around a third of the food it produces while 815 million people go hungry. To feed the world sustainably, producers need to grow more food while reducing negative environmental impacts such as soil, water and nutrient loss, greenhouse gas emissions and degradation of ecosystems. Consumers must be encouraged to shift to nutritious and safe diets with a lower environmental footprint.

The achievement of the SDGs requires a structural transformation of the society based on the ‘leaving no one behind’ approach. The SDGs represent the highest aspirations for a better world and reflect the greatest responsibility of a global community. We have to provide children and young people today with the services, skills and opportunities they need tomorrow to build better futures for themselves, their families, and their societies. This understanding – that a sustainable future depends on how we meet the needs of children and young people today – is at the core of the SDGs.
