  • 摘要:The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals also talk about the ZERO HUNGER by 2030, which itself shows that we must think about this alarming situation, the situation is becoming worse due to the Covid -19 pandemic, which has increased the level of stress. As the recent trend, the number of people affected by hunger will surpass 840 million by 2030, or 9.8 percent of the global population [16]. With soaring food prices pushing millions of people into food insecurity, the United Nations International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) is calling on governments and the private sector to urgently step up their investments in small-scale agriculture focused on locally produced, nutrition-rich food [14].This move is very essential and will be effective too, as if local food production will increase, the food will be made easily available to the people & at a much lower rate, this in turn will reduce the insecurity of the food at a much higher level. After realizing the United Nations Goal 2 –ZERO HUNGER and looking at the announcement of the International Fund for Agriculture Development ahead of Tokyo Nutrition for Growth (N4G) Summit on 7-8 of December, 2021, we may conclude that to overcome the fear of hunger in the near future, we must rebuild our agriculture system to produce the maximum output with the available resources & for this we must use the latest technological tools and ICT also.
