Zero Hunger by 2030 // Ending Hunger: The Nexus Approach

By tackling the SDGs in an integrated way rather than using a silo approach, it will be possible to achieve multiple targets simultaneously.

This, in turn, will optimize the allocation of resources between competing needs in order to better support development.
