摘要

Compelling evidence from multiple sources clearly warns that the global pursuit of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), faces major challenges due to intertwined global polycrises such as climate change, funding disparities, pandemics in humans (e.g., COVID-19), local and regional conflicts, policy misalignments, and insufficient political commitment to achieve these SDGs. These challenges have exacerbated hunger and malnutrition, particularly across the African continent. Focusing on animal-sourced foods (ASFs) as indicators of nutritional adequacy, Eastern Africa, one of the regions most impacted by food insecurity, shows a per capita annual supply of meat, milk, and eggs estimated at 16.27 kg, 37.47 kg, and 2.24 kg, respectively- far below global averages (43.8, 82.7, and 10.5 kg, respectively). Ethiopia has initiated the Homegrown Economic Reform and a food systems transformation strategy which combines three national flagship programs: the Irrigated Wheat Initiative (IWI), the Bounty Basket Initiative (BBI), and the Green Legacy Initiative (GLI). By 2023, Ethiopia achieved wheat self-sufficiency and anticipates a surplus of 7.7 million metric tonnes by the 2024/25 cropping season. GLI has planted 32 billion trees, dramatically increasing forest cover from 17.2% in 2019 to 23.6% in 2023. BBI has led to a significant increase in ASF production over the past five years, reducing malnutrition and food insecurity. These efforts exemplify Ethiopia’s dedication to achieving the SDGs by 2030, setting a powerful precedent for other African nations in combating food insecurity and driving sustainable development.
