Abstract
The United Nations Organization, through the 2030 Agenda, established as a global pact to end poverty in all its dimensions the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also contemplate actions aimed at protecting the environment and mitigating climate change. The principle of organic agriculture is to establish production systems based on a set of procedures that relate plant, soil and climatic conditions, without the use of polluting inputs, such as synthetic agrochemicals. This study aims to identify the perception of organic agriculture practitioners in the São Francisco Valley region regarding the relationship of their practices with the SDGs. Bibliographic analysis, technical visit and interviews with producers were carried out. It was found that, although in their daily activities they adopt practices related to the goals established in the SDGS, most were unaware of such goals. There was acknowledgement of the importance and need to carry out more actions in favor of the SDGs. From this perspective, it is suggested that more actions are taken to sensitize society, in order to understand the SDGs, as well as their purposes, and thus achieve a better quality of life for all.
