Food plays a vital role in human sustenance and well-being, and the fluctuations in its price exert a significant impact on the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) from social, economic, and environmental perspectives. This paper conducts an analysis utilizing data from 163 countries, revealing that an upsurge in global food commodity prices entails trade-offs with 13 SDGs, while exhibiting synergies with a few others. By considering specific food products, various types of countries, and the supply and demand shocks, further analysis confirms predominantly negative associations between spikes in food prices and the SDGs. Our findings highlight the urgent imperative to mitigate abrupt increases in food prices, such as those witnessed during the 2022 food crisis, to ensure the comprehensive fulfillment of the 2030 agenda for SDGs.
食物在人类生存和福祉中起着至关重要的作用，其价格波动从社会、经济和环境角度对可持续发展目标（SDGs）的实现产生重大影响。本文利用来自163个国家的数据进行分析，结果显示全球食品价格上涨会与13个可持续发展目标形成权衡，同时与其他一些目标呈现协同效应。通过考虑特定食品、不同类型国家以及供需冲击，进一步分析证实食品价格飙升与可持续发展目标之间主要存在负相关关系。我们的研究结果凸显了迫切需要缓解食品价格的突然上涨，例如2022年粮食危机期间所见证的情况，以确保全面实现2030年可持续发展目标议程。
