SDG 15 – Eating up life on land

Often people and policy makers look at the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) one at a time, but they can’t be addressed individually because they are intimately connected to one another. This means that we need systemic solutions that address several SDGs at the same time. Nowhere is this more evident than in consideration of SDG15 – life on land, in relation to SDG2 - zero hunger. Dr. Fergus Sinclair, Chief Scientist at CIFOR-ICRAF (Center for International Forest Research – World Agroforestry), gives a review.
