Thank you for providing your source. When I first read your posts, I coudn't figure out what you were talking about. These UN goals are really saying the opposite of your conclusions. It's all about the preservation of forests and sustainable agriculture. Goal 2 is an end to world hunger. It's about improving food security. Goal 12 is responsible consumption and production. It focuses on minimizing waste. I don't have a problem with any of these goals. In fact they all sound great to me. These are all things that have positive impacts on maple syrup production and life on our planet - human and otherwise.
