S2, Ep.5: The growing importance of agriculture and fishing in ending hunger and poverty

Why is food production on land and in water central to the Sustainable Development Goals? In this episode of SDG Insider, we explore the challenges and progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals in agriculture, aquaculture, and fishing with Wilbert Flinterman from Fairtrade International; Secretary General of Global Child Forum, Katarina Mellström; Alba Graells Roca, from the Catalan Ministry of Climate Action and David McInnes, the Founder and National Coordinator of Canada's National Index on Agri-Food Performance. They touch on child labour laws to protect children’s rights, smallholder farmers' struggles to earn a living wage, and how the GRI 13 Sector Standard helps companies address and report on critical aspects to achieve SDG targets and so much more.
