Goal 2. End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture.

2.3  By 2030, double agricultural productivity and the incomes of smallholder food producers, particularly women, indigenous peoples, family farmers, pastoralists and fishers, including through secure and equal access to land, other productive resources and inputs, knowledge, financial services, markets and opportunities for value addition and non-agricultural employment.

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

2.5  By 2020, maintain the genetic diversity of seeds, cultivated plants, farmed and domesticated animals and their wild species, including through diversified and well-managed seed and plant banks at the national, regional and international levels, and ensure 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 the parallel elimination of all forms of export subsidies and all export measures with equivalent effect, in accordance with the mandate of the Doha Development Round.

2.c  Adopt measures to ensure the proper functioning of food commodity markets and their derivatives, and facilitate timely access to market information, including on food reserves, in order to help limit extreme food price volatility.
