In recent years, the concept of food security has come to be associated with sustainability. In this context, it is pertinent to focus on goals 2 and 12 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which specifically aim to reduce hunger and ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns. This policy brief aims to determine ways to de-escalate hunger globally. SDG-2 is important as it calls for a redesigning of food systems through sustainable agriculture and endeavours to provide farmers with a greater role in the production process. SDG-12 focuses on fostering sustainable production and consumption practices, with a particular emphasis on minimising global food waste. Therefore, this brief proposes the establishment of a G20 food bank and a shift towards sustainable agricultural practices. This approach will help preserve the capacity of the land and other resources to produce adequate food for all, reduce food wastage through the redistribution of surplus food, and ensure food security on a global scale.
