SUMMARY
Introduction The Agro Legal Program; the Etanol Mais Verde Protocol; the Agroecological Transition Protocol; the Cesta Verde Program; and the Rotas Rurais Program are key actions for the State of São Paulo’s Sustainable Development Agenda. In order to present these initiatives in the light of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, the teams of the Secretariat of International Affairs, the Secretariat of Agriculture and Supply, and the Secretariat of Infrastructure and Environment have put together the programs’ goals and the targets of the 17 SDGs. Focused on targets 3 of SDG 2; 3 of SDG 10; and 2 of SDG 15; the Agro Legal Program was established seeking to organize agricultural properties for sustainable production and to preserve the environment.
The Etanol Mais Verde Protocol meets several targets. Among them are targets 2 and 3 of SDG 13; and target 1 of SDG 15, as the Protocol aims to reduce the release of greenhouse gases, expand agricultural total area committed to good agri-environmental practices, and contribute to the restoration of native vegetation. The Agroecological Transition Protocol meets the guidelines of target 4 of SDG 2, as it encourages sustainable and organic agricultural production. The Cesta Verde Program aims to gather products from small producers that will be further donated to vulnerable populations. The initiative relates to target 1 of SDG 2, which advocates to “end hunger and ensure access by all people, in particular poor people and people
in vulnerable situations, including infants, to safe, nutritious and sufficient food all year round”. The Rotas Rurais Program aims to provide addresses for agricultural properties in order to provide more agility in the access to fundamental public services and improve delivery logistics of local agribusiness products. In this way, the program is in line with target 2.a in terms of promoting investments in rural infrastructure, seeking to increase agricultural production capacity. Through the elaboration and implementation of these initiatives, the Government of São Paulo reaffirms its commitment to the Sustainable Development Agenda. Enjoy the read
