Sustainable food products include those made from upcycled ingredients, using minimal packaging and sourced from local, sustainable farms – and all of those start with the product development team. Consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the effects of their food choices and are looking for products that align with their values. By incorporating sustainable practices into their product development process, companies can develop products that are not only environmentally and socially responsible but also meet the needs and preferences of consumers increasingly seeking sustainable options. 3, record 1, English, - sustainable%20food%20product

The United Nations Development Program(UNDP) launched the MicroStart programme in February 1997. The purpose of the programme is to build a new generation of microfinance institutions(MFIs) that have transparent track records and solid institutional and financial performance, which enable them to reach poor clients while operating on a sustainable basis. MicroStart also aims to improve the practice of microfinance within the UN system by establishing guidelines, providing technical assistance, and promoting training and learning opportunities that incorporate best practice in the field. The programme has been developed in response to demand from UNDP Country Offices for a practical and operational product to assist them in the delivery of quality programming to a well-defined niche in the evolving field of microfinance. 1, record 8, English, - MicroStart

Le Programme des Nations Unies pour le développement (PNUD) a lancé le programme MicroStart, en février 1997. L’objectif du programme MicroStart est de bâtir une nouvelle génération d’institutions de microfinance (IMF), qui font montre de transparence, possèdent de solides capacités institutionnelles et sont financièrement performantes – des caractéristiques qui leur permettent d’atteindre les clients défavorisés de manière durable. MicroStart vise également à affiner la pratique de la microfinance au sein du système des Nations Unies. Il propose ainsi des orientations, fournit une assistance technique, favorise la formation et l’apprentissage grâce à l’intégration des pratiques de microfinance ayant fait leurs preuves sur le terrain. Le programme est né suite à la demande des bureaux régionaux du PNUD qui nécessitaient un appui pratique et opérationnel pour les aider à exécuter des programmes de qualité, ciblés sur un créneau bien défini du secteur en pleine expansion qu’est la microfinance. Depuis son lancement en 1997, MicroStart a été déployé ou est déployé dans vingt pays, et des subventions ont été octroyées à 68 institutions de microfinance (IMF). 1, record 8, French, - MicroStart

A relatively new concept in the word of fruit production is known as IFP or Integrated Fruit Production. At the heart of this program is integrated pest management. However, IFP goes beyond that in that it looks at the whole orchard system from the planting of trees through to storage and packing of the harvested fruit. In IFP, the whole fruit growing system is considered. Cultural practices, environmental management, safety, record keeping and education are all a part of integrated fruit production. As a result of practicing IFP, the following goals can be achieved : production of optimum yields of quality fruit; achievement of a standard of sustainable food production; production of a safe, high quality food product for consumers. 3, record 10, English, - integrated%20fruit%20production

One of the main differences between the approach of the genuine progress index and that of the GDP [gross domestic product] is that the GDP measures short-term quantitative growth, while the GPI measures qualitative development with a long-term perspective. While the GDP aggregates all economic activity without distinguishing benefit or harm to quality of life, an index of sustainable development estimates the differing benefits and costs of alternative economic activities, to assist decision makers in prioritizing policy alternatives on the basis of accurate information. 1, record 14, English, - genuine%20progress%20index

In light of my research, I have formulated an imperative of a sustainable consumer. It is expressed by four principles of a sustainable consumption. The principles are :[1] Selection : select service or product and choose environment-friendly one. [2] Minimization : minimize the range of the consumption.
