Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) companies occupy a pivotal space in the global food ecosystem. They influence what billions of people consume daily and shape agricultural supply chains that impact smallholders, land use, and nutrition. Given this scale and influence, FMCGs are uniquely positioned to contribute meaningfully to SDG 2—”Zero Hunger”—which calls for ending hunger, achieving food security, improving nutrition, and promoting sustainable agriculture. This article explores how Indian, American, ASEAN, and European FMCG companies are contributing to SDG 2, while identifying pathways for deeper, cross-regional impact. 1. Indian FMCGs: Anchoring Inclusive Nutrition and Rural Access Indian FMCG giants like ITC, Amul, Tata Consumer Products, and Britannia are increasingly embedding nutrition and farmer livelihoods into their business models.

These directly support Target 2.2 by addressing malnutrition. Future Potential: Indian FMCGs can invest in fortification (iron, Vitamin A), expand rural processing hubs, and support India’s millet revolution to enhance food diversity and sustainability. 2.
