Save to Favorites

Mission Overview

Do you want to help fight global hunger? Youthshare invites you to become an Article Writer for SDG 2: "Zero Hunger". Your role will be to research, analyze, and write an impactful article to raise awareness among young people and a wider audience globally about food security challenges and concrete actions to eradicate hunger. This is an opportunity to contribute to a fundamental cause!

Here's what you'll do specifically:

• Research and Monitoring: You'll explore reliable sources (reports from international organizations, scientific articles, local and global initiatives) to gather data and concrete examples on global hunger, malnutrition, food security, and sustainable agriculture.

• Analysis and Synthesis: You'll organize your findings to identify the causes of hunger and innovative solutions, considering international perspectives.

• Article Writing: You'll write an article of 500 to 800 words for our platform. The article should include key facts, concrete examples, and calls to action. Your text will be for a young and broader global audience, so it should be accessible, educational, and engaging, avoiding complex jargon.

Relevant angles for your article on SDG 2: Zero Hunger:

To make your article even more concrete and relevant, here are several angles you could explore:

• Malnutrition Beyond Hunger: Discuss different forms of malnutrition (undernutrition, deficiencies, but also overweight due to poor diet) and their impacts on health and development, especially among young people.

• Food Waste: A Global Paradox: Examine the extent of food waste at different stages (production, distribution, consumption) and concrete solutions to reduce it globally (anti-waste initiatives, apps, awareness campaigns).

• Sustainable and Resilient Agriculture: Focus on agricultural practices that respect the environment and ensure long-term food security (agroecology, permaculture, urban farming, technological innovations). How can agriculture adapt to climate change?

• The Impact of Conflict and Climate Change on Hunger: Analyze how humanitarian crises, wars, and extreme weather events exacerbate food insecurity and the challenges of responding to them.

• The Role of Youth and Technology: Highlight how young people can get involved (community gardens, association projects, awareness) and how new technologies (food-sharing apps, drones for agriculture) contribute to SDG 2.

• Policies and International Cooperation: Explain the role of governments and international organizations in the fight against hunger, and how global cooperation is essential to achieve this goal.

We'll provide you with links to key reports (FAO, World Food Programme), tutorials for online research, and a contact person to help you validate your ideas and offer support if needed.

The Current State of the SDGs: A Call to Action! Today, at the halfway point of the 2030 Agenda, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are unfortunately at risk. Successive global crises - pandemics, conflicts, inflation, and the effects of climate change - have slowed, or even reversed, progress in many areas. SDG 2, Zero Hunger, is particularly affected, with an increase in global food insecurity. That's why every contribution matters, and yours can make a real difference.

By volunteering with us, you're not just writing; you're becoming a concrete agent of change. Your article on SDG 2 will be published on the Youthshare platform, reaching thousands of young people and a broader global audience, inspiring them to take action. Your name will be featured on our website's author list, publicly recognizing your contribution. This is a unique opportunity to develop your research, writing, and critical analysis skills, invaluable assets for your studies and future career. You'll enrich your CV with concrete and valuable experience. More importantly, you'll directly contribute to advancing the cause of global food security and inspiring your generation. Join us and become the voice that informs and motivates for a future where no one goes hungry!
