This chapter advances the UN SDG goals 11, 12, and 13 by offering two alternate approaches to Western planning—city making informed by biophilic systems and First Nations values—through Australian case studies that have similar systems of thought, aspirations, and values. The challenge is for use to adapt (or retrofit) our cities to redress climate change and our consumption values toward crafting robust, resilient, respectful and sustainable places.
The paper discusses the complexity of the interactions and effects of climate change on food security.

This content aligns with Goal 7, Clean and Affordable Energy, and Goal 15, Life on Land, by assessing the impact of biofuel feedstocks on the environment, ecosystem, and biodiversity of the regions where energy crops will be grown and harvested.
Biofilms are a major challenge for the food industry, due to their ability to contaminate surfaces. Foam flow cleaning successfully removed a significant part of one-day biofilms grown on stainless steel surfaces. Life cycle analyses showed that the foam flow process reduces all environmental impacts, mainly due to the reduction in water and energy consumption, which is a crucial contemporary issue.
