How SDG2 Zero Hunger Is Achievable Through Agropreneurship—the Case of Rural South Africa Community Training Programs

Tackling the hunger crisis has been at the forefront of the United Nations’ (UN) primary Global agenda and operationalized through the Millennium DevelopmentDevelopment Goals (MDGs, 2015) and, subsequently, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs, 2030). MDG1 and SDG2 are both interested in achieving zero hunger; however, about 10% of the world population, i.e., 811 million people, are currently projected to go to bed hungry daily worldwide, and the scenario seems worse for the rural population. To sustain themselves, traditional rural communities rely mainly on small-scale farming. However, such enterprisesenterprises are associated with inadequate infrastructure, lack of skill development, transportation, storage, and poor economic opportunities. This chapter explored concepts and theories on povertypoverty eradication through training small-scale farmersfarmers (Agropreneurship Community Training Programme (ACTP)) at Adams Settlement, a small village in KwaZulu Natal. The findings of this research suggest that a collectivist agriculture innovation scheme has the potential to achieve Zero hunger and also for small-scale rural farmers to increase efficiency, competitivenesscompetitiveness, and sustainability.
