This study discuss the role of zakat as a social Islamic financial instrument in helping achieve the SDGs, particularly No. 2, namely eradicating hunger. This study analyzes through classical literature methods and sources of scientific articles and practical theoretical publications on zakat, Islamic philanthropy, and the Sustainable Development Goals. This study analyzes theoretically and thematically developing zakat's contribution to providing food access, full-time labor, humanitarian enforcement, and reducing food insecurity. The results of this study yield several conclusions and recommendations. First, zakat plays a role in food security through staple food distribution, nutrition programs, and empowerment of food-based micro-enterprises. Third, programs can be digitized through crowdfunding, institutional zakat, and platforms. However, these efforts still face regulatory, literacy, and public trust issues. Zakat has strategic potential with SDG 2 and is synergistic with other SDGs, such as poverty alleviation and improving health. Professional, transparent governance, digital integration, and synergy with agriculture are needed to ensure the sustainable impact of zakat.
