Chemistry powers SDG 12, sustainable farming by cutting waste, promoting eco-friendly methods, and protecting food and ecosystems. Explore impactful research highlighting chemistry’s role in sustainable agriculture and responsible food production.
ACS Publications is elevating chemistry research to drive progress toward the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through special curated article Showcases, hosted by Kudos. These Showcases simplify and share scientific breakthroughs, making the global impact of chemistry more visible and accessible.
Chemistry plays a vital role in helping reduce food waste through advanced preservation, enables eco-friendly farming via green chemistry, improves water and nutrient efficiency with smart tools, ensures food safety, and protects ecosystems through careful chemical management.
This Showcase presents cutting-edge breakthroughs driving sustainability, aligned with SDG 12: Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns, and explores the latest advancements in agriculture and food sciences.
