FOOD WASTE AND MISERY: OBSTACLES TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

The 2030 Agenda, proposed by the United Nations, brings seventeen sustainable development goals (SDGs). Food waste and misery are problems that the SDGs seek to solve. To this end, two SDGs can be highlighted, namely, responsible production and consumption and the eradication of poverty. In Brazil, some public policies have already been created to try to mitigate the environmental, social and economic impacts caused by these problems. However, it is necessary to analyze the issue further, so that there is no lack of finite natural resources for the next generations and so that everyone has a dignified life, especially in terms of adequate food, away from poverty. For this analysis, the deductive approach method and the indirect documentation research technique were used, through a bibliographic survey on the subject.
