Sustainable Development Goal 12 Trends

Sustainable food production is an agricultural practice that focuses on returning profits and control of agricultural methods to farmers while prioritizing environmental health, social equity, and profitability. It involves developing sustainable food value chains and adopting regenerative agriculture practices such as crop rotation, diversity, and cover crops. Sustainable food processing involves minimal processing of plant-based foods such as legumes, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables to minimize greenhouse gas emissions and avoid environmentally harmful packaging materials. The main goal of sustainable food production is to meet society's food and textile needs in the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Examples of sustainable production include regenerative agriculture practices, adoption of sustainable food value chains, and plant-based food processing.
