SUSTAINABILITY DEVELOPMENT
Sustainability is at the heart of everything. According to Global Landscape Forum it has been recognised that agriculture, forests, and other land uses are crucial for the achievement of a wide range of SDGs including poverty eradication, employment, food security, nutrition and safe drinking water.
“Sustainability development is a plan of action for people, planet, prosperity, peace and partnership.” (United Nation, 2015)
Although it is a newly developed agribusiness service provider, PT Mitra Asia Lestari has been trusted by strategic clients and partners to handle Agribusiness projects by prioritizing profitability and sustainability for today and the future.
AGRICULTURE NOWADAYS
The agribusiness industry is changing rapidly. Global demand will require 50% more in production of major agricultural crops over the next 40 years. With global population growth up to around 75 million annually, or 1.1 percent per year, it certainly has a significant impact on human living. For example, food and energy production are competing, as corn and sugar are increasingly important for both. Interestingly, the land becomes more limited due to the increasing of human needs such as housings, industries, roads, and other uses.
FAO (2015) reported that 10% of the world’s population were suffering from chronic undernourishment. Previous research suggest that growth is more effective in reducing poverty than growth in other sectors. Furthermore, to answer this, the United Nations has set ending hunger, achieving food security and improved nutrition, also promoting sustainable agriculture as the second of its 17 Sustainable Development Goals for the year 2030.
According to the challenges and opportunities above, PT Mitra Asia Lestari will continue to contribute actively and engage in global agribusiness projects by conducting comprehensive research and providing the best strategic advice.
