Take 2 minutes to see how agriculture plays a role in the United Nation’s goals.
This video shows the role of agriculture in the Sustainable Development Goals. Most of us can easily understand how growing more food for an increasing population is vital for food security and sustainability, however some of the other benefits are less obvious. This video shows how improved agriculture, particularly for small holder farmers, can cause a ripple effect leading to change in the other areas, such as gender equality and economic growth.
Please feel free to distribute and help spread the word about the SDGs and how we can achieve them together!
