Legal-political aspects of sustainable agricultural practices within Mercosur for food security and fullfilment with Sustainable Development Goal 2 (SDG 2)

Abstract

In order to accomplish the objectives of the United Nations 2030 Agenda, this article aims to clarify how food security and sustainable agriculture are handled within Mercosur. It specifically aims to ascertain whether food security is handled in Mercosur's institutional objectives, to examine whether sustainable agriculture is addressed in Mercosur's institutional objectives, and to determine what consequences there may be for the goals of the economic bloc. Additionally, the 2030 Agenda's Sustainable Development Goal 2 and food security in Mercosur will be severely examined. A literature study is utilized as a tool to attain the objectives, since there is a need to identify and understand how the subject is handled with by the economic bloc and how it converges with the Sustainable Development Goals, as well as what sustainable farming practices would be.The study is significant because of the global economic situation, which tends to increase socioeconomic imbalances, as well as the necessity for international mechanisms that ensure long-term food security. As a result, it was determined that food security is only briefly addressed within Mercosur and that sustainable agricultural methods are crucial for the economic bloc to accomplish both its own and SDG 2 goals. This finding should serve as a catalyst for greater agricultural sustainability.
