WHAT IS AN SDG?
"The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, were adopted
by the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet,
and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity."

The 17 SDGs are integrated—they recognize that action in one area will affect outcomes in
others and that development must balance social, economic, and environmental
sustainability.

CASE STUDY - ONE ACRE FUND

Robert Tigarya is 30 years old and he has always


been passionate about farming. Many of his
friends
left their native village of Lulyambuzi, Uganda,
to look for a job in a city. Robert remained in
the village and wanted to become a successful
farmer.

A few years ago, he was close to giving up. ‘I


know I have a responsibility to provide for my
family. My children are very important to me,
and I get very sad if I’m not able to provide
enough for them,’ Robert says. Most years, his
harvest would only last for about four months,
and without food, he would have to borrow
from neighbors and shop owners. Then one of
his friends told him about One Acre Fund, an
organization that worked with farmers in his
village.

One Acre Fund provided Robert with credit in


the form of hybrid maize seed and fertilizer.
Photo by Kelvin Owino/One Acre Fund

These were delivered to his village and for the first time in his life, Robert planted them with hybrid seed
and fertilizer. In training conducted by One Acre Fund staff, Robert learned how to use fertilizers using a
microdosing technique.

This season, the harvest filled Robert’s entire house. ‘This harvest is amazing – I’m at a loss for words to
explain it. I’m even worried I might not have enough space to store it in my house!’ Robert laughs. Now he
is able to feed his family and sell the surplus produce at the market. Recently, he sold part of his harvest
and was able to buy a motorcycle. This makes it easier for Robert to get around, and he can also earn
money from transporting other people.

In the future, Robert is hoping to buy a cow, plaster the walls of his house, and buy more land. ‘I now
know farming can be a business,’ Robert smiles.

How is One Acre Fund’s model unique?


It combines four components:

1. Providing farm inputs on credit – without One Acre Fund, many farmers lack access to loans to buy
high-quality seeds and fertilizers.
2. Delivery – in rural areas, distances are vast, and transportation is often undeveloped, so seeds and
fertilizers need to be delivered to local villages.
3. Training – without proper training, improved seeds and fertilizers are largely ineffective.
4. Harvest sales – in rural areas, often there are no markets; One Acre Fund has set up 800 local
markets within walking distance for people, so they can sell their products and earn an income.

In 2017, One Acre Fund served more than 600,000 farm families in six countries.

waste are responsible for 8-10% of global __________ gas emissions. These globally storage
emissions not only come from the production and transportation of the wasted insecurity expiration
food, but they also come directly from the rotting food itself when it is broken resources edible
down by microorganisms. Despite all this waste, in 2019, nearly 1 in 10 people water difference
around the world was exposed to severe food __________. Reducing food loss and wealthier problem
waste by just 50% would provide enough food to feed all these people and then animals farmers
some!

Although food losses occur at all stages of the food supply chain, their main cause varies between countries. In __________ countries, more than 40% of food loss and
waste occur at the retail and consumer stage, largely due to consumer __________ and food supply exceeding demand. Food losses in lower-income countries mostly
occur earlier in the supply chain due to poor __________ techniques, insufficient storage and cooling facilities, and a lack of infrastructure for food transport and
marketing. So what can we do to reduce all of this food loss and waste?

Well, let’s begin at the start of the supply chain: we need to __________ food losses on the farm itself. Sub-optimal conditions, such as not enough __________ and too
much heat, significantly reduce the growth potential of food crops, and 20-40% of crops __________ are lost to insect pests, weeds, and diseases. Global soil quality is
also degrading, making it harder for plants to access the nutrients they need to grow and forcing __________ to rely on artificial fertilizers. By improving __________
quality and exploiting natural interactions between plants, __________, and their environment, farmers can improve crop yields while reducing waste and resource
use. Providing farmers with effective harvesting technologies will also be important as food is often lost to damage or spillage during the harvesting process.

One of the biggest causes of food loss in lower-income __________ is storage: if food is left somewhere that is too hot or too damp, it can easily spoil or rot. Improving
storage facilities and transport infrastructure can, therefore, significantly reduce losses: if lower-income countries had the same access to refrigeration as richer
nations, food losses could be reduced by 25%! To solve this problem, we need to __________ low-cost, off-grid solutions for food preservation, such as mobile solar-
powered __________.

Food processing and more durable packaging can also prevent food spoilage during storage transport and at the consumer stage, although we would need to
consider the __________ of the packaging that is used. Even so, innovation can only get us so far. Retailer and consumer behaviors will also need to change. For
example, __________ set very high standards for what food should look like, meaning that imperfect food is often discarded even if it is perfectly __________. Embracing
these “ugly” foods at both the retail and consumer levels will significantly reduce how much gets thrown away. Restaurants, retailers, and caterers can also reduce
their waste by selling food in more appropriate portions and by donating uneaten goods to those who are unable to afford them.

But what can we do as __________? Well, we can start by planning ahead and only buying what we need. We can cook with __________ and use our __________ to keep
food fresh for longer. As well as encouraging less wasteful practices, we also need to be more aware of how to store food properly and how to tell if food is still safe
beyond its __________ date. As the world gets richer, consumer-level food waste is likely to become more and more of a __________. Therefore, it is vital that people are
aware of the impacts of food waste and what they can do to make a __________.

CASE STUDY
Bangladesh: adapting to climate change

Bangladesh, home to 165 million people, has


made amazing progress in reducing poverty and
hunger. In 1993, out of every 100 people, 35
were undernourished. Twenty-two years later,
out of every 100 people, 15 were
undernourished. Yet climate change threatens to
undo the progress for which people in
Bangladesh have worked so hard.

Cyclones, floods, and droughts have made life


difficult in Bangladesh for decades. In recent
years, the negative effects of climate change have
become worse than before. A few years ago,
floods caused eight million people to flee their
homes. Scientists predict that in the next few
decades, the country is likely to experience rising
sea levels, more extreme heat, and more intense
cyclones. By 2050, one-fifth of today’s land area
might be underwater.

The negative effects of climate change make food production even more difficult. This is especially worrying
because the population of Bangladesh is growing by nearly two million every year. So how is the country adapting
to climate change?

A number of efforts are underway:


Developing and disseminating drought-resistant rice varieties
Supporting sunflower cultivation in coastal areas
Developing cold-resistant rice varieties for the northern areas of Bangladesh, which experience low
temperatures in the winter.

Some new technologies that are widely used in agriculture in Bangladesh and beyond have had a negative effect on
the land. Some organizations are now supporting cheaper and environmentally-friendly processes. In northern
Bangladesh, where water is scarce, new methods of cultivating rice are used. These demand less water and yet
produce higher yields from seedlings.

BRAC is an organization that has supported 500,000 farmers in Bangladesh. Sir Fazle Hasan Abed is a founder of
BRAC and winner of the world food prize in 2015:

Our planet has the resources to feed its people, but we must ensure that each individual has access to the tools they need
to create their own livelihoods and develop their communities. To increase food security, we involved women in the
business of distributing high-yielding seeds and other agricultural inputs.

CASE STUDY
Ethiopia, halving hunger in 20 years

An amazing achievement:
In 1991, for every 100 people, 75 were
undernourished.
In 2016, for every 100 people, 29 were
undernourished.

How was hunger reduced by more than half?


Ethiopia is Africa’s oldest independent country and
the second-largest country in Africa in terms of
population, with 107 million people living there. In
1991, the population of Ethiopia was 53 million.
Major languages include Amharic, Oromo, Tigrinya,
and Somali. Major religions are Christianity and
Islam.

A number of factors contributed to this success


story. Firstly, Ethiopia’s economy grew remarkably
in this period. Out of 100 people working in
Ethiopia, 80 work in agriculture. Ethiopia sells
coffee, oilseeds, and flowers to other countries.

this has reduced poverty for many people over the past 25 years. However, this does not explain why the proportion
of people who were undernourished fell so much. There were many other African countries with big economic growth
but less progress in tackling hunger, such as Uganda.

The second reason was that the government became much smarter about tackling hunger. In the past, as the country
often experienced droughts, the government would respond with one-off humanitarian and emergency efforts. Since
2005, the government has adopted a better approach. They launched the Productive Safety Net Programme (PSNP),
which provides cash and food to around 7.5 million vulnerable people in exchange for able household members
participating in productive activities such as rehabilitating land and water resources.

Another important factor is how Ethiopia has brought healthcare to communities and households. Two health
extension workers cover a population of about 5,000 people. They deliver preventive health and nutrition
interventions, promote good practices, and offer limited curative treatment.

Vietnam: Improving the first 1,000 days

Nguyen Thi Lac has two children. Her daughter is 12 years old,
and her son is 11 months old. They are both very healthy.

Her neighbors were curious about how she cared for her
children. Her daughter is now in 6th grade. She is intelligent
and won two prizes last year. The neighbours thought that Lac
had been using infant formula when her children were small
because they had seen TV advertisements promoting this
formula. Most mothers in the countryside think that infant
formula is best for their children when they see the TV
advertisements, but Lac fed her daughter – and continues to
feed her son – with breast milk.

The first 1,000 days of life is the most important period in a


child’s development.

This is the time that begins with conception through a mother’s pregnancy and continues until the child is two years
old.

The World Health Organisation states that:


Infants should be exclusively breastfed for the first six months of life to achieve optimal growth, development, and
health. Thereafter, to meet their evolving nutritional needs, infants should receive safe and nutritionally adequate
complementary foods while breastfeeding continues for up to two years of age and beyond.

Fewer than one in five infants under six months of age were exclusively breastfed in Vietnam in 2010. Nearly one in
three children under five years of age were stunted – they were too short for their age – as a result of chronic
malnutrition. Since then, very good progress has been made to improve children’s nutrition during the first 1,000
days of their lives.

Amazing achievements
A large-scale program called Alive and Thrive has reached more than two million mothers with children under the
age of two years. Here are some of the results:

Two in ten mothers used to breastfeed their children for the first six months exclusively; now, this figure has doubled
to four in ten mothers as a result of a successful mass media campaign.

In provinces where mothers were also counseled in addition to the mass media campaign, six in ten mothers now
exclusively breastfeed their children for the first six months.

CASE STUDY:
Joshua's Heart Foundation

A blog post by Joshua Williams, founder of Joshua’s Heart Foundation

Here is one of my favorite quotes: ‘I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And I
will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do.’ – Edward Everett Hale. I decided to start my foundation
when I was almost five years old. This all came about because of a single twenty-dollar bill. My story starts when I
was on my way to church on a Sunday morning. When I was about to leave, my amazing grandmother gave me
twenty dollars to do with whatever I wanted. In the process of going to church, I was thinking about all the possible
things I could buy with the money. But when we were stopped at a red light that was the moment when I saw the
homeless, hungry man who changed my life forever. I saw him and I knew I had to give him my twenty dollars. Not
only was it for a good cause, but it would help him in whatever way it could. I knew then that this is what I had to do
in life. Then on another day, I was watching television, and there was an infomercial about Feed The Children
Foundation. That’s when I had the vision of exactly what I needed to do in life. I needed to help people. Now I had to
answer the how; How could I help?.....

I thought for a while; then it came to me. I had to help by giving food, the one basic necessity of life. I told my two
aunts about my idea of helping the needy; although they came on board to help, they kind of ignored me, so I had to
fire them. Then I went to my mom to help, she didn’t at first, but with constant nagging, she ultimately agreed. She
also didn’t take me seriously until she realized that I was very serious about my vision.

At first, we were giving hot food that we cooked to the homeless every Saturday; I also came up with the idea of a
food distribution, where we would have families who are less fortunate come by and get a bag full with essential
foods. Simple right? So we started; our first distribution was a big accomplishment. We helped 300 families who left
with a bag full of a week’s worth of groceries. We assisted the needy for two years, then we became a foundation; I
called it Joshua’s Heart Foundation. Why, because I felt like I was putting my heart into my mission. Currently, we
help young people every Friday in a food backpack program, seven months of the year, we provide groceries in a
large food distribution and quarterly with a cooking demonstration to show families how to prepare easy tasty, and
nutritious meals. We feed 20-60 youths every Friday and an average of 150 families per month.

As Martin Luther King Jr once said ‘I Have a Dream,’ I too have a dream, I have a dream that one day there will be no
more hungry children, I have a dream that if someone is hungry, they will know where to go, I have a dream that one
day there will be ‘open Cafeterias’ everywhere where poor families can donate what they can or volunteer if they
cannot and be able to feed their families when needed. I have a dream that one day all youths will be givers and
helpful to each other, I have a dream that together we can eradicate worldwide hunger, I have a dream that JHF will
inspire youths all over the world to start making a difference. I have a dream that everyone will find their purpose in
life.
