Title: Research about SDG 12
Ensure good use of resources, improving energy efficiency, sustainable infrastructure, and providing access to basic services, green and decent jobs, and ensuring a better quality of life for all.
To achieve economic growth and sustainable development, it requires that we urgently reduce our ecological footprint of usage by changing the production and consumption of goods and resources.
Agriculture is the largest user of water worldwide, and irrigation now claims close to 70 percent of all freshwater for human use.
