The Development Research Day is an annual event at Lund University bringing together all fields working on development to share and discuss their research with each other, students and the public. This years theme is: "End hunger and achieve food security by 2030". 

The theme of the conference addresses the second of the sustainable development goals (SDG 2): End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture. Still today, almost 800 million people in the world do not have enough food to lead an active and healthy life. The vast majority live in developing countries. It is currently widely agreed that there are a number of dimensions of food and nutrition security that needs to be fulfilled simultaneously in order to eradicate hunger and to reduce food insecurity globally. Dietary change related to increasing incomes and migration to urban areas adds to the complexity of the situation. In many developing countries there is a high prevalence of both undernutrition and overnutrition.

Key note speakers are Camilla Lundberg Ney (Policy Officer at the development cooperation organisation We Effect), Srilata Sircar (Doctoral Candidate in Human Geography at Lund University) and Joseph Karugia (Coordinator of the Regional Strategic Analysis and Knowledge Support System for Eastern and Central Africa (ReSAKSS-ECA)).
