“The Story of Agriculture and the Sustainable Development Goals”

April 22, 2015 – Farming First has produced an interactive essay explaining how and why agriculture will be central to achieving the Post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals. Farming First has explored the role of agriculture in relation to hunger and malnutrition, poverty reduction, gender equality, education, water, sustainable consumption and production, economic growth, and climate change.

The essay focuses on the links between agriculture and “Goal 2″, which calls for relevant actors to “end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture”. The interactive article uses easily shareable and digestible visual data to illustrate Goal 2 Targets relevant to hunger, malnutrition, sustainability, resilience, biodiversity, productivity, incomes, investment, trade, and markets. It is an excellent resource for those seeking a better understanding of these issues or a means of bringing them to life for a general audience.
