The summit was created by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres as a way to call attention to the growing problem of food insecurity -- especially in poor and developing countries. Guterres launched the July 26-28 event in Rome with remarks highlighting that goal in the context of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, or SDGs, which seek to make major strides in reducing poverty, hunger, inequality, and other challenges by 2030.
