Daniel Madariaga. During the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA 78), Mexican entrepreneur and sustainability specialist Daniel Madariaga Barrilado stressed the urgent need to transform current food systems toward models that are more environmentally responsible.
At the panel “Opportunities to Accelerate Transformation by Improving Synergies Between Climate, Nature and Food”, held during Climate Week in New York, Madariaga Barrilado presented the Organic Biocapacity Food Models (MABO) as a key alternative for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.

The expert emphasized that MABO represents “a necessary paradigm in our relationship with food and nature”, since they promote food justice and respect for planetary boundaries.
He explained that large-scale food production directly affects the use of natural resources such as water and land, in addition to contributing significantly to global greenhouse gas emissions.
Madariaga Barrilado warned that traditional production models, based on intensive practices, drive deforestation and biodiversity loss, weakening the planet’s ecosystems.
In contrast, MABO seek to minimize soil degradation, conserve water resources, and reduce pollutant emissions through regenerative agricultural practices.
He also highlighted that these models respond not only to the environmental crisis but also to the need to guarantee food security for a growing global population.
