“…Of particular interest is the achievement of Goal 2 as an indicator that covers sustainable agriculture and food security issues (Figure 1), which is gradually increasing in recent years. Serbia's position in the context of SDG achievement can be compared to neighboring countries that encompass similar characteristics in terms of agriculture development and food production [43,44]. The SDG ranking for Serbia is lower compared to Croatia (12), Hungary (22) and Romania (35) but the obtained results outperformed Bulgaria (44), Bosnia and Herzegovina (47), North Macedonia (60) and Montenegro (67) (Table 1).…”

“…It is also evident that the SDG achievement of Serbia in 2023 falls behind the region of East Europe and Central Asia, and this is particularly marked for Goals 1, 2, 3, 4, 9 and 17. It is noticeable that in the recent period, the number of indices for assessment of SDGs in Serbia increases, but collecting data also remains a challenging task, as unavailability for some of the SDG indicators presents a limitation for studying achievement toward SDGs [44]. Therefore, future efforts should focus on better strategies in collecting data, in order to permit their wider application and understanding.…”

With the greening of agriculture, there is a need to better link the sustainable development goals (SDGs) and organic agriculture in developing countries. However, in Serbia, there is a huge gap between the potential of their implementation and the actual situation. This paper assessed the strengths and weaknesses of SDGs and organic agriculture in Serbia and how their relationship can contribute in the development of sustainable agriculture. Key data and indicators of the economic, agricultural and social development of Serbia from international and national databases, as well as recent publications related to the selected topic, were assesed. The results showed that the restricted development of organic agriculture in Serbia stems from the undeveloped awareness of consumers, slower acceptance of alternative agricultural systems and the volatility of mainstream conventional agricultural production. The integration of organic agriculture into the largest conceptual and strategic frameworks, such as the SDGs, can offer a true transformation of local food systems and could result in positive feedback to the environment and society. In the long term, the SDGs framework can help connect various dimensions of sustainable agriculture, stakeholders and policymakers. The future focus should be on how to create entry points for agricultural transformation based on certified organic methodologies and how to integrate agricultural heritage into the realisation of SDGs.

Algal bloom is a typical pollution of urban lakes, which threatens drinking safety and breaks the urban landscape. It is pivotal to select a reasonable governance approach for sustainable management. A decision-making support method was studied in this paper. First, a general framework was designed to organize the rational decision-making processes. Second, quantitative calculation methods were proposed, including expert selection and opinion integration. The methods can determine the vital decision elements objectively and automatically. Third, the method was applied in Yuyuantan Lake in Beijing, China. The monitoring information and decision-making process are presented and the rank of governance alternatives is given. The comparison and discussion show that the group decision-making method is feasible and effective. It can assist the sustainable management of algal bloom.

“…It can be challenging to interpret how this framework of 17 goals and 169 targets converts into business action. 5 Achieving SDGs opens up $12 trillion of market opportunities in the four economic systems: food and agriculture, cities, energy, materials, health and well-being. They present around 60 percent of the real economy and are critical in delivering SDGs.…”
