Linking the Partnership with the SDGs

The Partnership has the potential to contribute to the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals.

United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) constitute a global strategy for economic development, social inclusion and environmental sustainability. They were established in 2015 as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development of the United Nations (UN) to balance social, economic and environmental aspects, considering them interconnected. The signatories adopted a policy framework with 17 goals to which governments, public, private and social entities are committed.

The S3P Traceability and Big Data in the agrifood value chain Thematic Partnership, according to its commitment to the SDGs, has examined its alignment with the 2030 Agenda. This Thematic Partnership represents a good example of how a diverse and large group of territorial actors (regions, universities, companies, clusters, technology centres, consumer associations, etc.) can play a relevant role in promoting changes.

In this analysis, the Partnership has considered that it has the potential to contribute to the following Sustainable Development Goals:

  • End hunger, achieve food security and better nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture.
  • Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all.
  • Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all.
  • Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation
  • Guarantee sustainable production and consumption patterns.
  • Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Alliance for Sustainable Development.
