SFNV Impact Forums are one-hour online seminars featuring Swiss and international experts that delve into the topics behind our Impact Platforms.
In just 60 minutes you’ll hear the latest insights from four expert speakers and then share knowledge and explore synergies with other attendees in our quick-fire Q&A session.
Zero Hunger by 2030: that was the target of Sustainable Development Goal 2. Despite the looming deadline, in global terms we are far from reaching that aim. One in 11 people worldwide went hungry in 2023, with the number rising to 1 in 5 in Africa. Globally, we have seen an alarming rise since the last decade. With the global population forecast to reach 8.5 billion by the 2030 deadline and then keep rising, the issue is set to become all the more pressing.
Going beyond hunger, the amount of food available isn’t the only thing at stake. Ensuring everyone can eat a nutritionally complete diet is crucial too. In 2030, projections indicate that 582 million people will be chronically undernourished, causing a wide range of serious health problems. As a result, in 2023, almost 29% of the world’s population was classed as being moderately or severely food insecure. And as the drivers causing food & nutrition insecurity are intensifying and becoming more frequent, charting a path to security is becoming ever more pressing.
This session will explore the role that processed food can play in feeding the world.
The session will be led by Katarzyna (Kash) Winek, Head of Innovation Scaling & Global Engagement, a passionate advocate for food system sustainability. She’ll be joined by three expert speakers from the Valley’s ecosystem. We’ll share more details here as speakers are confirmed.
