Goal 2: Zero Hunger

End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture

Sustainable Development Goal 2 (SDG 2) aims to end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture. This goal is crucial for ensuring the well-being of all people and the sustainability of our planet.

Global food security, both today and in the future, hinges on the indispensable role of fertilizers. To ensure plants’ well-being, growth, and resilience in the face of climate stress, providing them with concentrated, consistent, and readily available nutrients is essential. Mineral fertilizers are pivotal in global food security, contributing to approximately half of the world’s food production. In Egypt, the demand for fertilizers and their strategic significance will likewise increase to fulfill the fundamental food requirement for the population. Consequently, the impact of fertilizers is immediately evident in terms of production efficiency. With proper utilization of other agricultural inputs, such as water, a single cropping season in Egypt has the potential to double or even triple farm productivity.
