TARGETS
Everyone can contribute to achieving the Global Goals. By focusing on these targets, meaningful action can be taken to create significant impacts across various areas. This approach encourages collaboration and collective efforts to address critical issues, ensuring that no one is left behind.
Target
The action
UNIVERSAL ACCESS TO SAFE AND NUTRITIOUS FOOD
By 2030, end hunger and ensure access for all people, particularly the poor and those in vulnerable situations, including infants, to safe, nutritious, and sufficient food all year round.
Target
The action
END ALL FORMS OF MALNUTRITION
By 2030, end all forms of malnutrition, including achieving, by 2025, the internationally agreed targets on stunting and wasting in children under 5 years of age. Additionally, address the nutritional needs of adolescent girls, pregnant and lactating women, and older persons.
Target
The action
DOUBLE THE PRODUCTIVITY AND INCOMES OF SMALL-SCALE FOOD PRODUCERS
By 2030, double the agricultural productivity and incomes of small-scale food producers, particularly women, indigenous peoples, family farmers, pastoralists, and fishers. This will be achieved through secure and equal access to land, productive resources and inputs, knowledge, financial services, markets, and opportunities for value addition and non-farm employment.
Target
The action
SUSTAINABLE FOOD PRODUCTION AND RESILIENT AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES
By 2030, ensure sustainable food production systems and implement resilient agricultural practices that increase productivity and production, maintain ecosystems, strengthen capacity for adaptation to climate change, extreme weather, drought, flooding, and other disasters, and progressively improve land and soil quality.
Target
The action
MAINTAIN THE GENETIC DIVERSITY IN FOOD PRODUCTION
By 2020, maintain the genetic diversity of seeds, cultivated plants, and farmed and domesticated animals and their related wild species. This includes soundly managed and diversified seed and plant banks at national, regional, and international levels. Additionally, promote access to and fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the utilization of genetic resources and associated traditional knowledge, as internationally agreed.
Target
The action
INVEST IN RURAL INFRASTRUCTURE, AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH, TECHNOLOGY AND GENE BANKS
Increase investment, including through enhanced international cooperation, in rural infrastructure, agricultural research, extension services, technology development, and plant and livestock gene banks. This aims to enhance agricultural productive capacity in developing countries, especially in least developed countries.
Target
The action
PREVENT AGRICULTURAL TRADE RESTRICTIONS, MARKET DISTORTIONS AND EXPORT SUBSIDIES
Correct and prevent trade restrictions and distortions in world agricultural markets, including by parallel elimination of all forms of agricultural export subsidies and other export measures with equivalent effect, as mandated by the Doha Development Round.
Target
