As part of its commitments resulting from the United Nations Food Systems Summit, IFDC has joined the United States-led Coalition for Sustainable Productivity Growth for Food Security and Resource Conservation (the SPG Coalition). The Coalition aims “to accelerate the transition to more sustainable food systems through agricultural productivity growth that optimizes agricultural sustainability across social, economic, and environmental dimensions.”
According to the USDA website, “the Coalition for Sustainable Productivity Growth for Food Security and Resource Conservation (the SPG Coalition) will accelerate the transition to more sustainable food systems through agricultural productivity growth that optimizes agricultural sustainability across social, economic, and environmental dimensions. The SPG Coalition will advance a holistic approach to productivity growth that considers impacts and tradeoffs among multiple objectives. This effort will directly advance SDGs 2.3 and 2.4, both of which call for increasing agricultural productivity. It has impacts on SDGs 1, 2, 8, 13, 15 and 16.”
