Abstract

Tracking progress towards the Sustainable Development goals is a priority for the development community, and the subject of the recent SDG Atlas. Two of these goals, SDG1 and SDG2, pertain to eradicating poverty and achieving zero hunger. Recent official data on the indicators used to track SDG progress reveal a concerning trend: while reported global SDG1 data improved consistently up to the onset of the pandemic, SDG2 data veered off track. This raises the question: Why did food security deteriorate when extreme poverty improved?
