| SDG Action Goals | UN Sustainable Development Goals |
| Goal 1- End Poverty in all forms everywhere through the facilitation of e-Agriculture and increased cognition regarding commodity values and trade balances of field vegetables and fruit farms in Canada and prosperous in BC. The Food Index using the sustainability Brunswik lens model considers food according to export value and import cost, cash crops and backyard farms. If a person has a piece of land, access to a community garden or a pot to put soil in, anyone can garden. Seeds are relatively cheap ($0.79-1.29) and yield multiple crops in one season to enjoy and save on costs predicted to be rising in the future. | 1 No Poverty |
| Goal 2- End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture. The simplistic nature of gardening and use of clean technology affords even the most marginalized of individuals to benefit from building capacity and growing their own food. | 2 Zero Hunger |
| Goal 3 – Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. Home grown, fruit, field vegetables contribute to a healthy lifestyle due to their lack of pesticides. | 3 Good Health and Well Being |
| Goal 4- Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong opportunities for all. A promoted website allows access to all members of the community, and provides alumni with access to innovation and updates for the rest of their lives. Submitting an idea to the website is another way to give back to the community, while publishing community recipes is a way to be inclusive and equitable in the cultural dietary innovations and traditional teachings related to sustainable food. | 4 Quality Education |
| Goal 5- Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls. Ensuring that all genders feel included in the community sustainability as stakeholders and members. | 5 Gender Equality |
| Goal 6-Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all. Sustainable management of water includes considering the use of green spaces for additional community gardens and increased cognition on responsible consumption of water. Removal of pesticides and holistic methods decrease water required to clean food prior to eating. | 6 Clean Water and Sanitation |
| Goal 7- Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all. Clean energy and simple technological innovations are modelled on the website and recipes are in line with affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all to produce, transport, store and prepare for eating. | 7 Affordable and Clean Energy |
| Goal 8- Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all. Commodity Values were provided by Statistics Canada (2021) to provide data from on trade balance of import and exported goods. Number of fruit farms and field vegetable farms per province is also included in the Brunswik model. | 8 Decent Work and Economic Growth |
| Goal 9- Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation. The website contains examples of recent and simple concepts for agricultural innovation and considers capacity building for e-Agricultural pursuits. | 9 Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure |
| Goal 10- Reduce inequality within and among countries. Statistics Canada provides data (2021) ranking countries among top importers and exporters for Canadian agriculture. This has been included in the Data Tables and Brunswik model | 10 Reduced Inequalities |
| Goal 11 Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable | 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities |
| Goal 12- Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns. Sustainable consumption and production are evident on the website and help to increase student, staff and community cognition regarding tips for planting such as 1st plant, 2nd plant 3rd plant to ensure all of your garden is not ready for eating on the same day, or planning for using water falling off higher leaves to land on shorter stalks such as carrots around the perimeter. The reduction of beef, poultry and dairy for sustainable consumption and to reduce GHG emissions. Watering at early morning hours due to extreme heat in the afternoons. | 12 Responsible Consumption and Production |
| Goal 13- Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. Researchers call for a rapid dietary shift away from beef, poultry and dairy. The website increases cognition for students, staff and community to see ways to make dietary changes in their lifestyle on campus and at home. Vegan recipes and food product indexes provide examples of sustainable food options that are not accompanied with harmful packaging, transport costs, and help end both poverty and hunger while potentially leading to innovation and community engagement | 13 Climate Action |
| Goal 14- Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development | 14 Life Below Water |
| Goal 15- Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss | 15 Life on Land |
| Goal 16- Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels | 16 Peace Justice and Strong Institutions |
| Goal 17- Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development | 17 Partnerships for the Goals |
