Zero Hunger

2.2 By 2030, end all forms of malnutrition, including achieving, by 2025, the internationally agreed targets on stunting and wasting in children under 5 years of age, and address the nutritional needs of adolescent girls, pregnant and lactating women and older persons.


Water for Life and Peace Water is fundamental to health and life. By providing WHO standard water infrastructure around the world, GCI actively prevents the spread of water-borne diseases and the associated benefits clean water brings to food hygiene.


2.4 By 2030, ensure sustainable food production systems and implement resilient agricultural practices that increase productivity and production, that help maintain ecosystems, that strengthen capacity for adaptation to climate change, extreme weather, drought, flooding and other disasters and that progressively improve land and soil quality.


Water for Life and Peace

By providing sustainable and clean water to vulnerable communities around the world, GCI helps provide communities with the capacity for sustainable food production.


Environmental Security and Sustainability

By removing hazardous chemicals from the local environment, GCI provides a healthy local environment for sustainable and safe food production systems.


2.a Increase investment, including through enhanced international cooperation, in rural infrastructure, agricultural research and extension services, technology development and plant and livestock gene banks in order to enhance agricultural productive capacity in developing countries, in particular least developed countries.



Water for Life and Peace

GCI’s international advocacy supports international cooperation on water management and our practical projects provide durable, community-owned infrastructure to rural communities.

2.4 By 2030, ensure sustainable food production systems and implement resilient agricultural practices that increase productivity and production, that help maintain ecosystems, that strengthen capacity for adaptation to climate change, extreme weather, drought, flooding and other disasters and that progressively improve land and soil quality.


2.5 By 2020, maintain the genetic diversity of seeds, cultivated plants and farmed and domesticated animals and their related wild species, including through soundly managed and diversified seed and plant banks at the national, regional and international levels, and promote access to and fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the utilization of genetic resources and associated traditional knowledge, as internationally agreed.

2.B Correct and prevent trade restrictions and distortions in world agricultural markets, including through the parallel elimination of all forms of agricultural export subsidies and all export measures with equivalent effect, in accordance with the mandate of the Doha Development Round.
