The Zero Hunger Private Sector Pledge (the Pledge) is a game-changing solution that emerged from the UN Food Systems Summit (UNFSS) Action Track 1. The Pledge recognises that governments cannot eradicate hunger alone and need more private sector involvement.
It is an opportunity for companies and investment funds to align their investments with new evidence and commitments by donors, governments, and global institutions to achieve zero hunger by 2030.
The Pledge calls on companies of all sizes and from around the world to join the global movement to end hunger, inviting them to invest, innovate and work with donors and development agencies to change the way food is produced, distributed, and consumed.
