With a projected population increase of nearly one billion in the decade leading to 2030, feeding the world in a sustainable manner is an enormous challenge.  Importantly, SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) has significant connections with many of the other goals, such as good health and wellbeing, responsible consumption and production and climate action.  

Of the 8.5 billion people, 720 million are Southeast Asia alone.  In this region, smallholder farmers contribute a large proportion of agricultural production. Essentially, they feed us. We can create a significant impact by giving these farmers access to technological tools, data, and knowledge about best practices. They also make up a large part of  the population. So, bridging these gaps is especially meaningful to us, as we can chip away at the problem and help farmers grow and prosper.
