This book provides an introductory overview on SDG two on Zero Hunger and associated complexities and challenges in context of the Global South. It reviews the transition from MDGs to SDGs — specifically Zero Hunger and presents a comprehensive picture on where the Global South stands today and how global developments such as the Covid-19 pandemic and conflict affect this positioning. More importantly, this book critically reflects on the indicator-based framework of SDG two, from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. While eradicating hunger unquestionably needs to be at the top of policy agenda, it is also important to parallelly engage in critical reflection so that this agenda is translated locally.

This volume highlights three omissions from Zero Hunger framework — urbanization of hunger, centrality of structural determinants and group inequality, which are defeating for the 2030 agenda for 'leaving no one behind'.

Topical and rich in primary and secondary data, this book is a must read for students of sustainable development, development studies, environment and sustainability, public policy, and professionals working in development sectors, aid organisations, and NGOs.
