Agriculture is a major factor in sustainable global resource management in terms of land, water, biodiversity, and emissions to land, water, and the atmosphere. Agriculture is not just rural, but occurs on and within the margins of urban areas and major cities. Production depends on resourceintensive input supplies, and interfaces with other economic sectors such as transport, energy, water, labour, and commodity markets through processing, manufacturing, and distribution of products. The politics of food is not just about fair prices for producers and consumers. Agriculture is about international development and poverty reduction, and plays a fundamental part in environmental management and in the human causes of, and responses to, climate change. A glance at the Sustainable Development Goals, adopted by the international community in 2015 and set as targets for 2030, will confirm that agriculture is linked to many sectors within the development agenda.
