Science and technology are crucial for development. Nuclear science plays a significant role in the achievement of many of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially in the fields of health, hunger, energy and the environment. Good soil is essential for successful food production. With the support of nuclear techniques, farmers are improving soil quality - leading to healthier and more abundant crops.

The 2016 IAEA Scientific Forum highlights the contribution of nuclear technology to the SDGs.
