End hunger, achieve food security, improve nutrition, and equitable access to agricultural products.

Zero Hunger itself, which means "without hunger" in Indonesia, is an important program in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations. The background of this program is based on the fact that the problem of hunger is still a serious challenge in Indonesia, especially among the poor. Even though there have been government efforts to overcome this problem, there are still many individuals and communities who experience a lack of adequate food and nutrition. This program is aimed at ending hunger and ensuring access to sufficient, safe, nutritious and sustainable food for all Indonesians. Through collaboration between the government, non-governmental organizations, the private sector, and individuals, this program aims to increase agricultural productivity, develop sustainable food systems, increase food security, and provide better access to food for vulnerable groups. The University of North Sumatra plays an active role in supporting the Zero Hunger program in Indonesia by conducting research and innovation in agriculture, developing food technology, and empowering communities to achieve availability and access to quality food.
