In September 2015, governments at the United Nations took a major step towards defining a common framework for future action, when they adopted 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as part of the new Agenda 2030. Among other things, this included a commitment under SDG 2 to end hunger and all forms of malnutrition by 2030. Better-functioning markets for food and agriculture are integral to this bold new vision: governments agreed, for example, to “correct and prevent trade restrictions and distortions in world agricultural markets” as one of the measures they would take to help achieve this goal. The short papers in this compilation examine the linkages between SDG 2 and policies affecting trade and markets.
