In 2015, world leaders of 193 member states of the United Nations agreed to 17 global goals, officially known as the Sustainable Development Goals and pronounced SDGs.

2015 年，聯合國 193 個會員國的世界領導人達成了 17 項全球目標，正式名稱為 "可持續發展目標"，簡稱 "SDGs"。

These goals were carefully identified as having the potential to change the world by 2030 through poverty eradication, fighting inequality and addressing the urgency of climate change.

這些目標經過認真確定，有可能通過消除貧困、消除不平等和應對氣候變化的緊迫性，在 2030 年之前改變世界。

The 17 goals constitute of 169 targets and 230 indicators.

17 項目標包括 169 項具體目標和 230 項指標。

The global goals are ambitious but achievable.

全球目標雄心勃勃，但可以實現。

It integrates all three aspects of sustainable development and they are social, economic and environmental.

它綜合了可持續發展的所有三個方面，即社會、經濟和環境。

Goal 2 is to end hunger, achieve food security, improve nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture.

目標 2 是消除飢餓、實現糧食安全、改善營養狀況和促進可持續農業。

Extreme hunger and malnutrition remain a barrier to sustainable development.

極端飢餓和營養不良仍然是可持續發展的障礙。

It creates a trap that people cannot easily escape from.

它給人們製造了一個難以逃脫的陷阱。

Hunger and malnutrition mean less productive individuals who are more prone to disease and thus often unable to earn more and improve their livelihoods thereby they are stuck in the poverty bracket.

飢餓和營養不良意味著生產力較低，更容易生病，是以往往無法賺取更多收入和改善生活，從而陷入貧困。

Before COVID-19, food insecurity was already on the rise.

在 COVID-19 之前，糧食不安全問題就已經在加劇。

In a recently published brief by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, today more than 820 million people regularly go to bed hungry.

聯合國糧食及農業組織最近發表的一份簡報指出，目前有超過 8.2 億人經常餓著肚子睡覺。

135 million of that population suffer from acute hunger largely due to man-made conflicts, climate change and economic downturns.

其中有 1.35 億人遭受嚴重飢餓，主要原因是人為衝突、氣候變化和經濟衰退。

An estimated 821 million people were undernourished in 2017, the same number as in 2010.

據估計，2017 年有 8.21 億人營養不良，與 2010 年的數字相同。

The prevalence of undernutrition has remained virtually unchanged in the past three years.

在過去三年中，營養不良的發生率幾乎沒有變化。

Majority of the world's hungry people live in developing countries.

世界上大部分飢餓人口生活在開發中國家。

With a hunger prevalence rate of 23.2% in 2017, the sub-Saharan Africa region has the highest prevalence of hunger.

2017 年，撒哈拉以南非洲地區的飢餓發生率為 23.2%，是飢餓發生率最高的地區。

Africans are easily pushed into food insecurity because their ability to adapt is limited by many factors such as low savings, access to finance and insurance.

非洲人很容易陷入糧食不安全的境地，因為他們的適應能力受到許多因素的限制，如儲蓄少、無法獲得資金和保險。

As a result, lives are lost, malnutrition rises, health worsens and school enrollment drops.

結果，生命喪失，營養不良加劇，健康狀況惡化，入學率下降。

All this ultimately damages the economy's productive capacity.

所有這些最終都會損害經濟的生產能力。

These challenges are currently playing out with COVID-19.

COVID-19 目前正在應對這些挑戰。

This year, Africa is dealing with an unusual low-cost infestation that's ravaging parts of the Horn of Africa.

今年，非洲正在應對一種不尋常的低成本蟲害，這種蟲害正在非洲之角的部分地區肆虐。

A World Bank report states that this outbreak could result in crop and livestock losses valued at $8.5 billion and also reduced harvests and shortage of food in markets.

世界銀行的一份報告指出，這次疫情可能導致價值 85 億美元的農作物和牲畜損失，還可能導致收成減少和市場糧食短缺。

The same report adds that climate shocks, which have been increasing in number and severity in recent years, could also hurt agricultural production.

同一份報告還指出，近年來氣候衝擊的次數和嚴重程度不斷增加，也會損害農業生產。

These multiple crises unfolding at the same time threaten to grow the rate of Africa's hungry and vulnerable people.

這些同時發生的多重危機有可能使非洲飢餓和弱勢人口的增長速度加快。

It also concludes that refugees, internally displaced people and people living in areas marked by conflict and fragility like the Sahel are especially at risk.

報告還得出結論認為，難民、境內流離失所者以及生活在薩赫勒等衝突和脆弱地區的人們尤其面臨風險。

COVID-19 heightens the severity of the difficulty of the struggle to ensure food security.

COVID-19 加劇了確保糧食安全鬥爭的嚴峻性。

There is a strong link between poverty and food insecurity.

貧困與糧食不安全之間有著密切的聯繫。

Investment in the agriculture sector is critical in reducing hunger and improving food security.

對農業部門的投資對於減少飢餓和提高糧食安全至關重要。

Small-scale food producers are a big part of the solution to world hunger.

小規模糧食生產者是解決世界飢餓問題的重要組成部分。

Empowering small-scale food producers is central to improving food security and reducing poverty and hunger.

增強小規模糧食生產者的能力是改善糧食安全、減少貧困和飢餓的核心。

Specifically, attention needs to be given to increasing the agricultural productivity and incomes of small-scale food producers, implementing resilient agricultural practices and ensuring the proper functioning of markets.

具體而言，需要關注提高農業生產率和小規模糧食生產者的收入，實施有彈性的農業做法，並確保市場的正常運作。

Finally, in ensuring that no one is left behind on the road towards zero hunger, the intergenerational cycle of malnutrition must be broken.

最後，為了確保在實現零飢餓的道路上不讓任何人掉隊，必須打破營養不良的代際循環。

Africa cannot address food insecurity without addressing the agriculture-related drivers of conflict and fragility and their consequences.

如果不解決衝突和脆弱性的農業驅動因素及其後果，非洲就無法解決糧食不安全問題。

Investing in smallholder women and men is an important way to increase food security and nutrition for the poorest, as well as food production for local and global markets.

對小農婦女和男子進行投資，是提高最貧困人口糧食安全和營養水準以及當地和全球市場糧食產量的重要途徑。

If women farmers had the same access to resources as men, the number of hungry in the world could be reduced by up to 150 million.

如果女性農民能像男性農民一樣獲得資源，世界上的飢餓人口最多可減少 1.5 億。

Factors Influencing Vegetation Trends in Dryland Zones

The Sahelian region has long been considered an area of increasing desertification since droughts of the 1970s and 1980s.

自 20 世紀 70 年代和 80 年代的乾旱以來，薩赫勒地區一直被認為是荒漠化日益嚴重的地區。

But recent analysis of satellite images suggests the opposite, revealing patterns of increased vegetation called re-greening.

但最近對衛星影像的分析表明，情況恰恰相反，它揭示了被稱為 "返綠 "的植被增加模式。

One big question around this process of re-greening is what is causing it?

圍繞這一返青過程的一個大問題是，是什麼導致了返青？

科林-托爾-韋斯特和研究所學生

Alfredo Rojas, Anthropology Department at UNC, and Kofi Nomedji, Anthropology Department at Duke, conducted fieldwork in farming communities to understand what and who is contributing to re-greening.

聯合國大學人類學系的阿爾弗雷多-羅哈斯（Alfredo Rojas）和杜克大學人類學系的科菲-諾梅吉（Kofi Nomedji）在農業社區進行了實地考察，以瞭解什麼和誰在為復綠做出貢獻。

小流域綜合管理做法有助於綠化。

And greening appears to be patchy throughout the communities where fieldwork was done.

在進行實地考察的社區中，綠化似乎是零星的。

Progress on this research has been slightly affected by COVID-19.

In conclusion, increasing agricultural productivity and sustainable food production are crucial to help alleviate the perils of hunger.

總之，提高農業生產率和可持續糧食生產對於幫助減輕飢餓的危害至關重要。

Investment in the agriculture sector is critical for reducing hunger and poverty, improving food security, creating employment and building resilience to disasters and shocks.
