Reboot The United Nation’s 2015 Constrained Vision “Sustainable Development” To 2023 All-Embracing “Regenerative Development”!

Personally, a proud alumnus of UP Los Baños, I have long wanted if possible for the United Nations (the UN) to reboot its “17 Sustainable Development Goals” (SDGs) adopted in the “UN Sustainable Development Summit” held in Sept 2015 (United Nations, sdgs.un.org). To me, “Sustainable” is “Questionable”!

Here are the UN’s “17 Goals of Sustainable Development” (United Nations, un.org):

G1: No Poverty
G2: Zero Hunger
G3: Good Health and Well-being
G4: Quality Education
G5: Gender Equality
G6: Clean Water and Sanitation
G7: Affordable and Clean Energy
G8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
G9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
G10: Reduced Inequality
G11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
G12: Responsible Consumption and Production
G13: Climate Action
G14: Life Below Water
G15: Life on Land
G16: Peace and Justice Strong Institutions
G17: Partnerships to achieve the Goal[s].

All 17 are desirable for the world – each one a Mission to Accomplish the Vision: “Sustainable Development.” However, if the Vision is unacceptable – there go the Missions!

Intellectually, I envision of revising the Vision into “Regenerative Development.” Because: The term “sustainable” implies that it “can be improved somehow while essentially maintaining the current relationships” – in essence, status quo. In contrast, the term “regenerative” implies “rebirth, renewal” – essentially, change for the better. Why does not anyone want change for the better!?

Noted: “The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future.”

For “Climate Action,” the UN website mentions “sharply reduced” emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs), but does not mention Chemical Agriculture (CA) as a huge source of GHGs. Why not? My calculated guess is that if they mentioned CA as a producer of global enemy gases, the UN will be seen to be anti-capitalist!

Also noteworthy, none of the 17 SDGs either mentions, implies or signifies “Agriculture” – Why not? My guess is that “Chemical Agriculture” (CA) will come out, and that is anti-capitalist too! Organic Agriculture (OA) will also come out, and that is Definitely Murder!

Let us now take the case of OA as one of the Regenerative Agriculture (RA) practices/principles. So, what does OA regenerate? I see these 2 entities generated/regenerated:

(1) Farmers are financially enriched – arising from much lower overall cost of farming and, therefore, much higher returns from farming.
(2) Environments are organically enriched – natural soil enrichers are applied, therefore zero greenhouse gases are generated.

Yes, OA is murderous! These are the 2 entities that OA slowly but surely kills:

(1)   Farmer Poverty – I repeat: OA reduces much the total cost of farming and increases much the net returns; that is murder to those whose businesses rely on the manufacture and/or distribution of chemical fertilizers and pesticides!

(2)   Climate Change – OA renews the natural fertility of the soil and does not generate greenhouse gases that generate Climate Change.

Today, as global development goals ignore elimination of Farmer Poverty and Climate Change, development is not sustainable!@517
