Abstract: Localization of Sustainable Development Goal 2 (SDG2) is not a straightjacket, as Zimbabwe and South Africa face the same challenge of hunger but under different circumstances. Zimbabwe operates in a relatively unstable macroeconomic environment characterized by low industrial production, inflation, and foreign currency shortages. The country has been a net importer of agricultural produce, mainly maize, and wheat. On the other side, South Africa has been relatively stable, but there has been a recurrence of social unrest in the country caused by income inequality and poverty; otherwise, South Africa has been a net exporter of agricultural produce. In this regard, for South Africa and Zimbabwe, ending hunger is crucial for achieving social harmony, peace, and growth.
