The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a development agenda agreed upon by UN member states. This agenda has many ambitious targets, one of which is to eliminate hunger by 2030.

However, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) considers this SDG target difficult to achieve, given the current high global hunger figures.

According to FAO estimates, in 2022, approximately 735.1 million people experienced hunger in various parts of the world, equivalent to 9.2% of the global population.

While this figure is slightly lower than in 2021, compared to the previous decade (2010-2020), global hunger in 2022 was worse, rather than improved.

"Our latest estimates show that global hunger is not increasing, but it remains far above pre-pandemic levels," stated the FAO in *The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023*.

"Food crises are still occurring in many parts of the world. Many population groups are not benefiting from economic recovery, or are bearing a heavier burden due to rising food and energy prices. For these reasons, we are still far from on track to achieve SDG target number 2 (ending hunger by 2030)," said the FAO.

"Unless we redouble our efforts, the target to eliminate hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition by 2030 will remain out of reach," it continued.

According to the FAO's definition, hunger is the condition where a person's food intake does not meet the energy standards for a normal, active, and healthy life.

The FAO measures hunger figures based on data on the prevalence of undernourishment from each country.
