Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Its Role in Supporting the Zero Hunger Agenda in Indonesia

Abstract

Addressing the problem of zero hunger is very important to achieve the welfare of a country. This hunger problem can affect human resources in a country which results in the progress of the country. The problem of hunger and nutrition is generally caused by several things such as poverty and low education. Currently, Indonesia is experiencing a demographic bonus where the number of productive age population is greater than the number of non-productive age population. Zero Hunger, which in Indonesian means "Without Hunger" is an important initiative in the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The research design used is a qualitative research method. The approach used in this study is a literature study, namely by collecting and analyzing relevant sources of information from various scientific journals, books, research reports, and other publications. The results and discussion of this literature study were carried out by conducting research on the role of corporate social responsibility in overcoming zero hunger in Indonesia. Previously, seven articles were found that were considered relevant to this study. Based on the literature review of the ten articles, it can be concluded that efforts to achieve Zero Hunger in Indonesia are complex issues involving various aspects. These studies highlight the importance of overcoming the global crisis, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Overall, these studies underline the need for a multidimensional approach and collaboration between various parties to realize Zero Hunger in Indonesia. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) plays a crucial and diverse role in addressing the problem of Zero Hunger in Indonesia. Thus, CSR is not just a company’s social responsibility, but also a great potential and important resource in fighting hunger and achieving food security in Indonesia.
