Abstract

The United Nations (UN), with the membership of 193 countries, established 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through global agendas and international conferences, integrating goals to guide the creation of public policies. This article examines the contribution of the state of Rio Grande do Norte (RN) to sustainable development, focusing on Crioula Seeds, using as an example the actions proposed by the project “In search of the seeds that color the semi-arid: Identification, characterization and mapping of seeds creoles in the territories of citizenship in RN”, started in 2020. The study aims to demonstrate how the mapping of creole seeds in RN contributes to the fulfillment of the SDGs, not only preserving local biodiversity, but also valuing the role of farmers and guardians of these seeds , reinforcing food security and promoting environmental sustainability in the region.
