## Nordic Talks Korea: Sustainable Foods for All – Highlights

Join us as we delve into the world of sustainable foods and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2 and 3. Watch the highlights of the 6th edition of Nordic Talks Korea, where experts in the field come together to discuss innovative food technologies and solutions to end world hunger and ensure healthy lives.

According to recent data, the world is not on track to achieve zero hunger by 2030. Hunger levels have been steadily increasing since 2015, and it is projected that over 840 million people will be affected by hunger if the current trends continue[^1^].

The Nordic region is at the forefront of sustainable food innovation, and Nordic Talks Korea aims to foster discussions and provide a Nordic perspective on implementing new initiatives, projects, and technologies to combat hunger and promote a sustainable society[^2^].

Nordic Talks Korea is a flagship initiative by the Nordic Embassies in Korea, created to facilitate conversations between Nordic and Korean communities to address global challenges and inspire action. These events align with the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals and are open to the public, offering engaging talks, discussions, and a taste of Nordic culture through cuisine and beverages[^3^].

Supported by the Nordic Council of Ministers, Nordic Talks Korea is affiliated with the Nordic campaign and Nordic Talks brand, further strengthening the impact of this platform[^3^].
