1. “The Government of Nicaragua is implementing programmes such as the Bono Productivo Alimentario and the Microcrédito Justo Usura Cero, in line with the S/2021/250 priority of guaranteeing that Nicaraguan families have access to sufficient, nutritious and healthy food. The implementation of measures aimed at transforming the food systems of developing countries to ensure greater benefits for our peoples requires greater political will on the part of developed countries, particularly with regard to financing and technology transfer to developing countries.”

2. “It is important to bear in mind that food security requires equitable economic growth, job creation, income generation and technological progress, particularly in the agricultural sector. It is imperative that the international community continue to take urgent and coordinated action to address the pandemic, without neglecting efforts to protect and strengthen global, regional and local food value chains. Nicaragua is a country that lives off of its own national production, with the natural resources and capacities of the population and the productive sectors in competitiveness strategy, improving the quality of products, the agro-industrialization of primary products, dialogue and good relations with all productive sectors so as to take full advantage of the domestic market for national production.”

3. “Therefore, a profound change in the global food and agriculture system, as well as increased agricultural productivity and sustainable food production, is needed to help reduce the risk of hunger for millions of people. Nicaragua believes that, as long as the imposition of unilateral coercive measures on developing countries continues, zero hunger will not be achieved, thus also jeopardizing the achievement of the other 16 SDGs. All coercive economic measures unilaterally imposed on our peoples by certain powerful countries must be immediately suspended, as these sanctions or aggression are one of the main obstacles to the eradication of poverty and hunger. Moreover, the imposition of such measures in times of pandemic is tantamount to a crime against humanity.”

4. “We hope that the international community will implement the necessary measures in order to resolve that crisis. Nicaragua is a faithful advocate of a world with a culture of peace, harmony and love among nations, where multilateralism with all its international norms prevails, in conjunction with international and regional organizations, over the greed and avarice of the most powerful, in order to promote solidarity, cooperation and relations on an equal footing, for the benefit of the sustainable development of all our peoples. The reality is that, given the current pace of the implementation, SDG 2 of the 2030 Agenda — “End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture by 2030” — will not be achieved.”

5. “As stated in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, given the intrinsic link between the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the peace and stability of our nations, there can be no sustainable development without peace, and no peace without development. Without peace, all the other goals will be impossible to achieve, especially the main goal of eradicating poverty. Conflicts and disruptions caused by the negative impact of climate change and economic shocks continue to be a major driver of food crises around the world, which traps the most vulnerable populations in a situation of severe food insecurity, poverty and hunger. We stand in solidarity with all countries affected by conflict and insecurity, especially those facing the food crisis in the Horn of Africa.”
