1 on track 1 moderate progress 2 marginal progress 1 stalled 2 going backwards 1 not enough data
2.1End hunger Going backwards
Everyone, especially poor and vulnerable people and infants, has safe, nutritious and sufficient food all year round.
Measured by

- Share of local livestock breeds at risk of dying out
2.aInvest in rural areas and farm research Going backwards
Increase investment, including through international cooperation, in rural infrastructure, farm research, advice services, technology and gene banks.
Measured by
- How much governments spend on farming compared with its share of the economy
- Official funding flows to agriculture
2.bFair world farm trade On track
Correct and prevent trade restrictions and distortions in world farm markets, including ending farm export subsidies.
