SDG 2: Zero Hunger
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
2.1 Research on hunger
2.1.1 Zero Hunger: CiteScore
This indicator measures the proportion of a university’s publications appear in the top 10% of journals according to the Citescore metric. It is intended to reflect on excellence of academic output.
This indicator is normalised and it is worth 10% of the score in this SDG (equivalent to 2.6% of the overall score).
2.1.2 Zero hunger: FWCI
This indicator explores the quality of a university’s output in the area of hunger research using the number of citations received as a metric. This number is normalised by publication type (paper, review, conference proceeding, book, or book chapter), by year of publication, and by subject. Subjects are defined using Elsevier’s ASJC classification.
This indicator is normalised and it is worth 10% of the score in this SDG (equivalent to 2.6% of the overall score).
2.1.3 Zero hunger: publications
The number of publications looks at the scale of research output from a university around hunger. It is not scaled by the size of the
institution – rather it looks at the overall impact.
This indicator is normalised and it is worth 7% of the score in this SDG (equivalent to 1.82% of the overall score)
2.2 Campus food waste
2.2.1 Campus food waste tracking
Measure the amount of food waste generated from food served within the university.
Up to three points based on:
• Existence of measurement – maximum of one point for whole university, 0.5 for partial measurement
• Evidence provided – up to one point
• Is the evidence provided public – one point
2.2.2 Indicator: Campus food waste Year: 2024
The second question (indicator 2.2.2: Campus food waste) calculates the food waste per person. These values will only be scored where universities have indicated that they are measuring food waste across the whole university.
This indicator is normalised and it is worth 7.7% of the score in this SDG (equivalent to 2% of the overall score).
2.3 Student hunger
2.3.1 Student food insecurity and hunger Year: 2024
Have a programme in place on student food insecurity.
Up to three points based on:
• Existence of programme – one point
• Evidence provided – up to one point
• Is the evidence provided public – one point
2.3.2 Students hunger interventions. Year: 2024
This indicator has been split into two indicators this year: 2.3.2 Students hunger interventions and 2.3.5 Staff hunger interventions. Provide interventions to prevent or alleviate hunger among students (e.g. including supply and access to food banks/pantries).
Up to three points based on:
• Provision of intervention – one point
• Evidence provided – up to one point
• Is the evidence provided public – one point
2.3.3 Sustainable food choices on campus Year: 2024
Provide sustainable food choices for all on campus, including vegetarian and vegan food.
Up to three points based on:
• Existence of choices – maximum one point for all food outlets, only 0.5 points for selected food outlets
• Evidence provided – up to one point
Is the evidence provided public – one point
2.3.4 Healthy and affordable food choices Year: 2024
Provide healthy and affordable food choices for all on campus.
Up to three points based on:
• Existence of choices – maximum one point for all food outlets, only 0.5 points for selected food outlets
• Evidence provided – up to one point
• Is the evidence provided public – one poin
2.3.5 Staff hunger interventions Year: 2024
Provide interventions to prevent or alleviate hunger among members of staff (e.g. including supply and access to food banks/pantries).
Up to three points based on:
• Provision of intervention – one point
• Evidence provided – up to one point
• Is the evidence provided public – one point
2.4 Proportion of graduates in agriculture and aquaculture including sustainability aspects
2.4.1 Indicator: Proportion of graduates in agriculture and aquaculture Year: 2024
This metric tries to capture whether your institution actively teaches food sustainability within accredited undergraduate and
postgraduate agriculture and aquaculture courses.
2.5 National hunger
2.5.1 Access to food security knowledge Year: 2024
Provide access on food security and sustainable agriculture and aquaculture knowledge, skills or technology to local farmers and food producers.
Up to three points based on:
• Provision of access – maximum one point for free, only 0.25 points for paid
• Evidence provided – up to one point
• Is the evidence provided public – one point
2.5.2 Events for local farmers and food producers Year: 2024
Provide events for local farmers and food producers to connect and transfer knowledge.
Up to three points based on:
• Provision of events – maximum one point for free, only 0.25 points for paid

2.5.3 University access to local farmers and food producers Year: 2024
Provide access to university facilities (e.g. labs, technology, plant stocks) to local farmers
and food producers to improve sustainable farming practices.
Up to three points based on:
• Provision of access – maximum one point for free, only 0.25 points for paid
• Evidence provided – up to one point
• Is the evidence provided public – one point
2.5.4 Sustainable food purchases Year: 2024
