2. Ghana (70.8 SDG2 Index Score)
Ghana is second with a score of 70.8. It improved food security by growing more food, supporting small farmers, and improving food distribution. This led to less hunger and a stronger economy.
1. Mauritius (71.5 SDG2 Index Score)
Mauritius ranks first with a score of 71.5. The country reduced hunger through strong farming policies, technology, and sustainable practices. This also helped the economy grow.
Why food security mattersReducing hunger is not just about providing food; it has far-reaching economic and social benefits. Healthier people are more productive, leading to stronger economies. By reducing hunger, countries can also free up resources that would otherwise be used for emergency hunger relief and treating malnutrition-related diseases.
Achieving SDG 2 is crucial for Africa’s future. Many countries are increasing investments in agriculture, supporting farmers, and improving food security measures. While no country in Africa has fully achieved the SDG2 goal, these nations have made huge progress.
