Synopsis
This comic from World’s Largest Lesson introduces SDG 2, Zero Hunger, highlighting food security, malnutrition, and sustainable agriculture actions that governments have agreed to pursue, such as supporting small farmers and protecting seed and livestock biodiversity.
Students will understand how droughts, floods, disasters, and equitable programs for children, mothers, elders, and Indigenous peoples connect to climate resilience and community well-being.
The comic format is visually engaging and concise, making complex ideas about hunger, agriculture, and climate impacts accessible to elementary learners.
The resource directly frames SDG 2 targets (nutrition programs, smallholder support, biodiversity protection) to spark action-oriented classroom conversations.
Prerequisites
Students will benefit from basic understanding of needs vs. wants and where food comes from.
Teachers may want to preview the terms malnutrition, biodiversity, and disaster.
Differentiation & Implementation
After reading, students can draw or write one local action to support healthy, sustainable food.
Teachers can provide sentence frames, such as “One cause of hunger is ____. A solution is ____ because ____.” for students to demonstrate their understanding verbally or in writing.
For enrichment, connect to a school or community food program and map how it addresses SDG 2 targets.
Students can make connections to their own lives with a home food-waste audit.
After reading this resource and talking about SDG 2, teachers can connect to SDG 5, Gender Equality, and point out how these two can be interrelated. Teachers can also implement this video to introduce SDG 5.
