Abstract: Abstract Sustainable management of agricultural and food enterprises is becoming increasingly important given the global challenges to which agricultural and food enterprises are exposed in the twenty-first century. Global agriculture and food remain a key driver of many challenges that can be summarized in the following complexes: environmental, geopolitical, technological-economic, and demographic-social. This is about increasing the protection of natural resources, ensuring an increase in biodiversity, and a significant reduction in the impact of agriculture on climate change. Food producers are expected to produce food in a sustainable manner using innovative methods that respect natural resources, respect the environment, and ensure safe and healthy food for people. Incorporating sustainability into the concept of food is logical because trends such as climate change, degradation of natural resources and increasing social and economic inequality will have the ability of ecological systems to face such confrontations in the production of more and healthy food. Currently, it is necessary to ensure the cooperation of social and economic systems through regenerative methods of agricultural production, which ensure long-term food security and nutrition. To achieve this, we must embrace innovation while drawing on the traditional practices and time-tested farming methods of the indigenous people.
