Optimize agricultural practices to promote sustainable land management, soil health, and biodiversity conservation, reducing the environmental footprint of agriculture and preserving ecosystem services.
Minimize reliance on chemical inputs such as pesticides, fertilizers, and herbicides through the adoption of integrated pest management (IPM), organic farming methods, and agroecological approaches.
Increase investment in research and development of climate-resilient crop varieties, drought-tolerant crops, and resilient farming systems to adapt to changing climate conditions and mitigate climate risks in agriculture.
Reduce food waste and loss throughout the food supply chain through improved storage, transportation, processing, packaging, distribution, and retailing practices, minimizing resource inefficiencies and environmental impacts.
Optimize water use efficiency in agriculture through the adoption of water-saving irrigation technologies, drip irrigation, rainwater harvesting, and efficient water management practices to reduce water consumption and promote water conservation.
Minimize agricultural pollution and water contamination from agricultural runoff, nutrient leaching, and pesticide drift through best management practices, riparian buffers, and conservation measures.
Increase investment in sustainable agriculture extension services, farmer training programs, and technical assistance to promote adoption of sustainable farming practices and improve agricultural productivity and resilience.
Optimize agricultural subsidies, incentives, and support programs to prioritize sustainable farming practices, conservation stewardship, and environmental performance in agricultural production.
Minimize deforestation and land degradation associated with agricultural expansion, land clearing, and land-use change through policies that promote sustainable land use, forest conservation, and agroforestry.
Increase investment in smallholder agriculture, family farms, and rural development initiatives to support small-scale farmers, improve livelihoods, and enhance food security and nutrition in rural communities.
Optimize livestock management practices to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, minimize environmental impacts, and improve animal welfare through sustainable grazing, feed management, and manure management.
Minimize the use of antibiotics and growth hormones in livestock production through regulations, veterinary oversight, and alternative disease prevention and treatment strategies to address antimicrobial resistance and protect public health.
Increase investment in agroecology, regenerative agriculture, and ecological farming systems that enhance soil fertility, carbon sequestration, and ecosystem resilience while promoting sustainable food production.
Optimize food labeling and certification schemes to promote transparency, traceability, and consumer awareness about sustainable food choices, eco-friendly products, and ethical sourcing practices.
Minimize food insecurity and malnutrition through policies and programs that promote equitable access to nutritious food, support small-scale food producers, and strengthen food systems resilience to shocks and crises.
Increase investment in agricultural research, innovation, and technology transfer to develop sustainable farming practices, crop varieties, and agricultural solutions that improve productivity, resilience, and sustainability.
Optimize agricultural trade policies and agreements to promote fair trade, sustainable development, and environmental stewardship in international food markets while safeguarding food sovereignty and local food systems.
Minimize the environmental impacts of intensive monoculture farming systems through crop diversification, crop rotation, and intercropping practices that promote soil health, pest resistance, and ecosystem resilience.
Increase investment in sustainable fisheries management, marine conservation, and aquaculture practices to promote responsible seafood production, protect marine ecosystems, and support coastal communities.
Optimize food system governance and policy coordination to address interconnected challenges such as food security, nutrition, environmental sustainability, and social equity, ensuring holistic and integrated approaches to food system transformation.
