Abstract

Achieving Zero Hunger is our shared commitment. Now is the time to work as partners and build a truly global movement to ensure the Right to Food for all and to build sustainable agriculture and food systems as per UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon during Committee meeting on World Food Security, Rome, 12 October 2012 [1]. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will be more ambitious than the Millennium Development Goals, covering a broad range of interconnected issues, from economic growth to social issues to global public goods. The implementation of SDGs needs every country to judiciously prioritize, and adapt the goals and targets in accordance with local challenges, capacities and resources available. With the breadth of 17 Goals and 169 Targets [2,3,4,5,6&7].
