Enhancing Public Health and SDG3 Through Sustainable Agriculture and Tourism Initiatives

This study investigates the role of private sector initiatives and collaborations in advancing public health goals and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG3). By examining sustainable agriculture and tourism efforts led by a tourism company in Crete, it assesses how private enterprises can align with broader health and sustainability objectives. The study employs a review of sustainability reports, key performance indicators (KPIs), and organizational practices to evaluate the impact of these initiatives. Findings demonstrate that integrating sustainable agriculture and nutrition directly benefits human and environmental health and contributes significantly to SDG3 targets. The results underscore the importance of strategic alignment and dedicated efforts in fostering effective public-private partnerships. Ultimately, private sector engagement can drive substantial progress toward sustainable development and public health improvements when pursued systematically and collaboratively.
