Abstract


Food production and supply are fundamental to the world, as are the sustainable development goals (SDGs) created from the UN 2030 Agenda. Given this assumption, this investigation aims to identify the adherence of food agribusinesses in the State of Rio Grande do Sul to the SDGs by measuring indicators related to these objectives and that are aligned with the Food and Agriculture Business Principles (FABP). The FABP results from the construction of the Global Compact Network Brazil and aims to contribute to achieving the SDGs. This is a quantitative and descriptive research in the food agroindustries of the State of Rio Grande do Sul, in a sample of 254 establishments. Data analysis was performed using univariate and bivariate techniques. The results point to a mean adherence of 83.5% of food agribusinesses in RS to the SDGs. This significant number shows how much this segment contributes to sustainable development. Some principles stand out, and others point to some elements where it is possible to advance, either through the initiative of agribusiness or promotion by public entities or the third sector.


Keywords
