Book chapters

This content aligns with SDG 2 and 3 by discussing the availability and nutritional qualities of pomegranate.

This content aligns with Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Goal 13: Climate action by outlining strategies for a negative carbon footprint in raising small ruminants for meat and dairy, producing protein-rich food without harm to the environment.

This content aligns with SDG 7 and SDG 12: Pomegranate peels are otherwise discarded. But this chapter discusses how the waste can be converted into a clean source of renewable energy.

The chapter aligns well with multiple SDGs, especially SDG 3 (Good Health and Well‑being), SDG 5 (Gender Equality), and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), by centering structural drivers of health disparities across education, housing, and healthcare. Its focus on special populations and intersectional conceptual frameworks also supports SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) through attention to social determinants. To strengthen alignment, the chapter could explicitly map findings to specific SDG targets and indicators (e.g., UHC, discrimination reduction, disaggregated data). Including measurable recommendations and monitoring strategies would make the contribution more actionable for SDG implementation.
