But we are aware that more needs to be done if we are to end hunger by 2030, and the new report confirms the urgency. This is why we are discussing opportunities with partners for scaled-up and improved global interventions, to help reverse the negative trend on global hunger, including the German-initiated proposal for a major SDG2 moment in 2020.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 09/07/2019 15:54:34 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Harriett Baldwin
