Supporting SDG#2: Zero Hunger

East-West Seed (EWS) contributes to the attainment of Sustainable Development Goal 2 to end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture by:

• Providing good quality seeds of improved vegetable varieties that help increase the productivity and income of smallholder farmers.
  
• Developing vegetable varieties with enhanced micronutrients and nutraceutical properties and climate-resilient traits.
  
• Providing smallholder farmers knowledge and skills on improved agronomic practices and climate-smart technologies.
  
• Undertaking research and development on indigenous vegetables which contribute to a diverse cropping system.

• By 2030: ensure sustainable food production systems and implement resilient agricultural practices that increase productivity and production, that help maintain ecosystems, that strengthen capacity for adaptation to climate change, extreme weather, drought, flooding and other disasters and that progressively improve land and soil quality
