Sustainable Development Goal 2: Zero Hunger focuses on ending hunger, achieving food security and improved nutrition, and promoting sustainable agriculture. Western Philippines University advances this goal through its academic programs, research, technology development, and community extension initiatives in agriculture, fisheries, and related fields. These efforts promote sustainable crop, livestock, and fisheries production; encourage the adoption of innovative and climate-resilient technologies; and strengthen the capacities of farmers, fisherfolk, and other food producers through technical training, knowledge sharing, and technology transfer. The university also supports agricultural and fisheries entrepreneurship, livelihood development, and improved food production systems through research and community-based initiatives. By applying its expertise to address local food security challenges, WPU contributes to building more productive, inclusive, and resilient agricultural and fisheries communities. These initiatives align with SDG 2’s objectives of improving access to safe and nutritious food, increasing the productivity and income of small-scale food producers, and promoting sustainable and resilient food production systems.
