SDGs - Transforming agriculture and food systems to end poverty
A keynote address at FFA2015 was delivered by Amina Mohammed, one of the architects of the new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that will replace the previous global targets: the Millennium Development Goals. Mrs Mohammed left no doubt about the global scale of the SDGs: “No one is left without something to do in promoting sustainable agriculture.” This challenge would, however, not only need to be met on the production side, but a similar effort must be made to promote sustainable consumption patterns. Above all, the new goals call for the “preservation and sustainable management of marine and terrestrial ecosystems”.
