Food Insecurity is more than hunger – more than 2 billion people in the world

experience moderate or severe food insecurity

economic slowdown or downturn; mostly middle-income

requires scaled-up and bolder action

malnutrition

fisheries more productive and

sustainable

efficient agricultural

and food systems

5. Increase the resilience of

livelihoods to threats and

crises
