“…The most recent literature (2021-2023) comprises various topics such as sustainability during the COVID-19 pandemic and how this affected the pursuit of the SDGs [14,15]; the analysis of a limited number of SDGs in and outside the European Union [16,17]; and the sustainability-related impacts of specific industries [18]. Our article responds to the call [19] for research to clarify the responsibilities of large multinationals in the domain of energy transition, decarbonization, and environmental protection, as well as in the social realm, in areas such as gender equality and education.…”

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) were introduced in 2015 to advance the 2030 Agenda of sustainable development in all supporting countries. The SDGs are applicable to countries, non-governmental organizations, industries, and companies. In this article, we focus on the contribution of listed companies headquartered in the European Union (EU) to the SDGs. The EU intends to be the front-runner in the race for sustainable development and has adopted comprehensive strategies that mirror the UN SDGs. For this reason, we collected relevant data points from the Refinitiv Eikon database for 1156 companies headquartered in EU countries for the financial year 2022. The data collected refer to contributions to each SDG and the adoption of corporate sustainability policies. Data were statistically analyzed per country and sector to generate a comprehensive image of industry contributions to the SDGs in the EU. By applying a comparative analysis of country-level achievements and policies, the results point to four EU countries that are significant contributors to the SDGs through their economic activities. At the same time, other EU countries are still facing significant challenges in this domain. The socioeconomic considerations for these cases are laid out in the Discussion section. The present article offers a snapshot of corporate contributions to the SDGs as climate and geopolitical challenges become more prominent.

“…Sustainable methods of managing livestock and poultry, such as rotational grazing and integrated pest control, can mitigate the environmental impacts of animal production while also enhancing productivity and resilience [ 43 ]. Craparo et al [ 44 ] present a persuasive body of evidence supporting the incorporation of Circular Economy (CE) ideas into agricultural practices. This integration is crucial in promoting climate resilience within the context of family farming.…”

“…Finally, the spatial regression model fitting effect can be tested using the Schwartz Criterion, the fitting coefficient R2, the Akaike information criterion, and the natural log likelihood (Tables 2 and 3). It is emphasized that following such a gauge in model selection, 1 ⃝ when the Lagrange multiplier (lag) is significant and the Lagrange multiplier (error) is not significant, the SLM is chosen; 2 ⃝ when Lagrange multiplier (lag) is not significant and the Lagrange multiplier (error) is significant, the SEM is chosen; 3 ⃝ when the Lagrange multiplier (lag) is significant, the Lagrange multiplier (error) is significant, and the robust LM (lag) is also significant, the SLM is selected; 4 ⃝ the SEM is selected when the Lagrange multiplier (lag) is significant, and the Lagrange multiplier (error) is significant when the robust LM (error) is also significant; 5 ⃝ when the Lagrange multiplier (lag) is not significant and Lagrange multiplier (error) is not significant, the OLS is chosen.…”

“…Eradicating hunger and achieving food security is one of the key objectives of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) [1,2]. Scholars have made great efforts to increase agricultural food production and develop policy [3,4], but the recent report on the State of Land 2024, 13 Food Security and Nutrition in the World still indicates that the world is regressing in its efforts to eradicate hunger, food insecurity, and all forms of malnutrition [5,6]. Cultivated land (CUL) is an essential natural resource crucial for human survival, development, and agricultural activities.…”

Spatial–Temporal Differentiation and Driving Factors of Cultivated Land Use Transition in Sino–Vietnamese Border Areas

Understanding the transformation of cultivated land use is crucial for advancing sustainable development goals related to food security. However, in mountainous regions, there is a lack of comprehensive studies that fully account for the diverse factors influencing cultivated land use transformation. This study aims to elucidate the temporal and spatial dynamics of cultivated land resource transformation in the mountainous Sino–Vietnam border area, uncover its underlying driving mechanisms, and offer insights for safeguarding cultivated land, promoting economic development, ensuring homeland security, enhancing ecological security, and bolstering border stability and prosperity. To investigate the cultivated land use transformation pattern in the Sino–Vietnam border area from 2000 to 2020, we employed kernel density estimation and geo-information spectra. Additionally, we developed a comprehensive driving force system tailored to the unique characteristics of cultivated land use in the border region. We applied a spatial econometric model to dissect the driving mechanisms governing cultivated land use transformation. Our findings revealed several key insights: (1) The density of cultivated land in the Sino–Vietnam border area exhibited an initial increase followed by a decrease. Notably, the transformation of cultivated land was most prominent in the eastern plains, intensifying over time. (2) The predominant type of transformation in the Sino–Vietnamese border area revolved around the mutual conversion of cultivated land and woodland, with the mutual conversion of cultivated land and grassland ranking second. (3) Against the backdrop of urban–rural integration, the transformation of cultivated land use at the border progressed from a phase of rapid decline to a phase of slower decline. (4) The transformation of cultivated land was influenced by a complex interplay of socio-economic factors, natural environmental conditions, policy management, and transportation infrastructure. The relative importance of these factors in driving cultivated land use transformation varied significantly across different time periods. In light of these findings, we recommend promoting agricultural modernization and industrialization in the Sino–Vietnamese border areas. It is essential to consider the region’s distinct cultivated land characteristics, implement tailored land policies, and develop diversified strategies for the utilization and management of cultivated land. Furthermore, harnessing land resources to stimulate economic development should be a focal point of future initiatives in the area.
