SUBJ: Core food and agricultural indicators for measuring the private sector’s contribution to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals

Sustainability is a natural component of our ecology. We are the only species that lives in an unsustainable manner. The United Nations Food & Agriculture Organization wants to know how to evaluate private sector sustainability contributions.

Here are my top 3 importance's that will indicate a more sustainable contribution from private sector agriculturists.

Switch from mono-culture style to natural fertilization making and diverse agriculture systems.

Sustainable energy resource investments, solar, small hydro and wind, etc.

Increases in diverse production.

I can only add that the more diverse and sustainable the operation, the better the produce dynamically and we know well through our study diverse nutrition = a higher quality of life and less suffering.
