RankiaPro Europe published an article writing that World Food Day is celebrated every 16th of October from 1979. It was proclaimed by the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) and now with clear purpose shared Agenda 2030 with the goal of zero hunger. Its objective is clear: to make the world aware of the problems of malnutrition, hunger, and poverty that exist at a global level. But, by 2030 we need to meet the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 2, end hunger as well as sustainable agriculture, food security, and nutrition. According to IFPRI, it is possible to increase crop yields 67 percent by 2050, reduce CO2 emissions by 50 percent, and fertilizers and pesticides by 20 percent. To this end, agricultural equipment manufacturers are incorporating GPS, remote sensing, and data analytics, facilitating precision solutions, while others are developing indoor vertical farm solutions.
