Switzerland contributes to sustainable development both domestically and internationally through its foreign economic policy. It promotes sustainable trade, global standards for environmental protection, human rights, and labor rights. It also advocates for responsible corporate governance.
Agriculture is a crucial part of the Swiss economy and society, with significant impacts on climate, biodiversity, food security, regional development, and the local economy. Therefore, transitioning to more sustainable agricultural practices is a key priority. The Federal Office for Agriculture supports various projects related to these topics.
