Abstract

The study examines global challenges in sustainable development, particularly in food security and achieving zero hunger, focusing on India. It discusses the World Bank’s commitment of $45 billion to address food and nutrition issues and the FAO’s goal to reduce food insecurity by half. The study highlights India’s strategic initiatives to promote innovation and entrepreneurship for economic and social advancement, aligning with the SDGs. It emphasizes the critical role of social enterprises in addressing developmental obstacles and advancing towards zero hunger. The study calls for urgent, coordinated actions to create a world free of hunger by 2030, underscoring the importance of partnerships between the private sector, government, academia, and indigenous groups.
