Dear Colleagues,

First of all, let me thank you for the very interesting stories you shared over the past few days.

They paint a very interesting picture on how the realization of SDG2 is being tackled in your countries and of the challenges that remain. Your first-hand experience touches on many different issues with land degradation, intersectoral cooperation, funding, food loos & waste, nutrition, education and animal husbandry all being mentioned as important elements. This multitude of aspects reflect the very essence of the SDG and their comprehensive and cross-cutting nature. They also showcase the complexity of our fight against hunger and the efforts that are necessary to move towards a Zero Hunger world.

I would like to encourage you to keep sharing your stories, allowing fellow practitioners to learn from your experience of what worked – or didn’t – and how you overcame the challenges.

Looking forward to your stories!

Max
