Smart Technologies for Sustainable Development Goals: Zero Hunger by Saravanan K

Publisher Description

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) give the UN a road-map for development, with Agenda 2030 as the target. It was built on the previously established Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). This book examines the supporting technologies needed to achieve SDG 2: reducing hunger and creating a better society. This much-needed book, the first of its type to offer a specific focus on the relationship between technology and SDG 2, will be valuable for academics working in the subject of global sustainable development. This book will also be useful for international organisations and representatives, who will be able to share knowledge on technological views to minimise hunger rates.
