Ceres2030: Nachhaltige Lösungen zur Beendigung des Hungers

The Ceres2030 report argues that ending global hunger is possible through an integrated combination of public investments totaling 33 billion USD per year. The project identifies ten key recommendations across three categories: enabling inclusion, on-farm improvements, and post-harvest management. It emphasizes that smallholders are critical to global food security but are often excluded from economic growth and technological advancement. The report highlights a significant funding gap, noting that donor contributions must nearly double to 26 billion USD annually, supplemented by 19 billion USD in domestic spending from recipient countries, with Africa identified as the region with the highest need.

• To end hunger and double smallholder incomes by 2030 while adhering to Paris Agreement greenhouse gas emission targets, an additional 33 billion USD in annual public spending is required. This is split between an average of 14 billion USD from donors and 19 billion USD from low- and middle-income countries via increased tax revenue.
• The project identifies ten key recommendations for action. In the 'Enabling Inclusion' category, it recommends facilitating membership in farmers' associations, investing in integrated vocational education for rural youth, and expanding social safety nets.
• On-farm recommendations focus on making sustainable practices economically viable, investing in extension services (especially for women) linked to R&D, supporting the adoption of climate-resilient crops, increasing research on water-scarce areas, and improving livestock feed quality.
• Post-harvest recommendations include reducing losses by expanding measures beyond grain storage to include other crops and value chain segments, and investing in infrastructure and technical support for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
• Africa is the region with the greatest need for additional funding, as it is expected that over half of the world's undernourished population will be concentrated on the continent by 2030. Two-thirds of the additional public spending are required in Africa.
• The report finds that agricultural measures are most effective when they are integrated combinations rather than isolated improvements, and when they target complex goals such as marketability rather than just resilience.
• There is a critical lack of high-quality, relevant evidence for policymakers; less than 2% of the analyzed evidence base directly addressed the specific questions typically investigated by donors, such as the cost of a measure.
• Gender-disaggregated data in agriculture and rural development remains sparse. Only about 10% of the analyzed articles considered gender differences in the outcomes of measures, and only 12% of studies on SMEs addressed the gender issue.
