- explain this: Goal 2: Zero Hunger. The number of undernourished people has dropped by almost half in the past two decades because of rapid economic growth and increased agricultural productivity. Unfortunately, extreme hunger and malnutrition remain a huge barrier to development in many countries. There are 821 million people estimated to be chronically undernourished as of 2017, often as a direct consequence of environmental degradation, drought and biodiversity loss. Over 90 million children under five are dangerously underweight. The SDG’s aim to end all forms of hunger and malnutrition by 2030, making sure all people-especially children-have sufficient and nutritious food all year. This involves promoting sustainable agricultural, supporting small-scale farmers and equal access to land, technology and markets.arrow_forwardThe concept of development should be broadened to include more than just one factor. briefly Discuss the factors that can be used to describe development in a nation?d) in brief Outline why the culture of a country might influence the costs, risks and benefits of doing business in that country.arrow_forwardDefine natural capital.

Others argue that the most serious environmental problems stem from high levels of resource consumption per person in developed countries, which use 88% of the world’s resources and have much larger ecological footprints per person than do developing countries.
