methods and technologies in agri-food and forestry sectors to
document the potential measurable improvements in areas of
environmental management, food security, economic growth, social
cohesion and human health at the local and global scale. With a
focus on the ecosystems-resources-climate-food-health nexus as a
framework towards achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals
applicable in these sectors, the book offers a portfolio of
guidelines and standards that assesses the affordability, potential
profitability and possible unintended consequences of
interventions. The areas of intervention covered in the study

processing, healthcare and waste management sectors, will take
