The Path to a Sustainable, Food Secure Future

Hesat2030 is charting a course for policymakers and donors to make high-impact decisions and investments driven by data

We use evidence-based research, innovative technologies and coordinated action to provide donors and policymakers with the resources & tools to make informed and scientifically-based decisions.

Transforming agrifood systems to deliver on hunger, poverty, nutrition, and climate change is necessary, urgent, and achievable.

Coordinated Action

We engage with governments and donors on major initiatives in food security, nutrition, agriculture, gender equality, and climate change, and we secure commitments  to implement recommendations in policies, programmes and projects through the Zero Hunger Coalition.

Coordinated Action

We research and prepare a variety of reports, including landscape reports; deep dives with evidence-based, costed roadmaps for countries and regions; cost modelling and global recommendations on effective interventions & costs to end hunger sustainably, nutritiously, and equitably.

Coordinated Action

We have developed an online platform for donors to track, monitor & analyse official development assistance (ODA) for agriculture and food security. We are ensuring strong,  standardized evidence collection and synthesis by publishing normative guidance and training materials.

The need for evidence-based action and innovation

The quality and quantity of official development assistance  (ODA) to agriculture is not adequate to meet strategic and global targets on small-scale producer productivity, income and sustainability or broader objectives to transform food systems. Poverty and hunger are on the rise, and reversing this  trend will require food systems that are able to provide sufficient food for all, improve incomes, equity and productivity for small-scale producers, make diets healthier and more affordable, reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and build capacities needed to adapt to climate change and conflict.
