Reducing Inequalities within and among EU Countries
Reducing inequalities within and among countries is one of the main tenets of the sustainable development paradigm and has become an important pillar at the European Union level. By adopting the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, EU countries have committed themselves to meeting targets against which progress in reducing inequalities can be measured. Through the present research, it can analyze and assess the extent to which EU countries will achieve the specific SDG 10 targets. Based on data published by Eurostat for the period 2010-2020, it can forecast the trends of the indicators until the year 2030, using a model based on AAA (Holt-Winters) version of the exponential smoothing (ETS), to assess the degree to which the assumed targets will be reached. For more detailed information, dynamic indices were used to analyze the dynamics of the progress achieved. The results showed that it is difficult to clearly distinguish one or more countries as part of a group of high or low performers in terms of the efforts made and the effects achieved in reducing inequalities. However, it can be mentioned that Poland as a good and very good performer on most of the indicators analyzed. At the opposite, Bulgaria and Greece, for which more attention and involvement is needed in adopting measures to correct the negative trends forecast.

Digital Transformation in International Markets and International Omnichannel
The growth of digital technologies, whose core is data management (e.g., big data, internet of things, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, augmented reality, blockchain, etc.), are transforming both societies and organizations. Digitalization assists in determining accurate agro-chemistry and weather conditions, automated quality control of agricultural products, and robotic devices with sensors and radio frequency identifiers in animal husbandry. Agriculture and food production is becoming more innovative with the implementation of new infrastructure, IT platforms, or biotechnologies, like gene editing or synthetic food production. The use of digital technologies allows for monitoring the growth of crops, a decision-making system for irrigation, and the choice of fertilizers. Digitalization has also enabled agricultural firms to gain access to markets abroad and overseas through online marketing platforms and international payments systems. Internationalization has indeed become a crucial condition for both the success and survival of most agri-food firms, that need to enter international markets, helped by the technological advances.

Because of growing populations, more people living in cities, and higher incomes, the demand for food has changed in both quantity and quality. This has sped up the growth of different agricultural production and distribution chains. The necessary transition processes in the agri-food sectors, however, can often take a very long time to complete and have negative social and environmental effects, which puts the traditional development paradigm into question.

Public–Private Partnership Infrastructure Investment
Interconnected infrastructure is an essential foundation for sustainable economic development. As China’s economy enters the new normal, the contradiction between the continuously growing demand for public goods represented by infrastructure and the insufficient supply efficiency and quality of single government-led investment mode under downward economic pressure and fiscal constraints has profoundly changed the supply and investment mode of infrastructure. Public–private partnership (PPP) has become the most important means of investing in infrastructure. PPP, an innovative mode of infrastructure investment, has been widely applied in China and has become an essential policy tool with which to promote sustainable economic development.
