Members of the agri-food system are the target of much criticism, but they are also the bearers of much hope with regard to the challenges facing our society in terms of sustainable development. Their contribution to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals is a key element of this challenge. In order to achieve these goals, they must improve the quality of their products, practices, and organisation. Their responsibility is greater than ever, and they must lead the change by understanding stakeholder expectations and managing the risks associated with their activities. Here, we show that many issues related to governance, social benefits, environmental impacts, animal welfare, and health and nutrition dimensions can be integrated into a global approach to the food chain. To this end, the simultaneous use of already available tools, methods, guidelines, and standards is recommended. The use of management system requirements, taking into account intrinsic and extrinsic quality attributes, allows the development of an integrated approach with the aim of continuous improvement. This approach is based on risk management tools that are applied to multiple stakeholders, such as product quality, occupational health and safety, and environmental impact, thus enabling better global performance. Among food business operators, small producers, due to harder working conditions and lack of time and opportunities, are not familiar with such approaches, despite being useful for improving their overall performance and long-term viability. In relation to the growing expectations of consumers and society, they must consider diversifying their activity, proposing new products, following different quality schemes, or changing their modes of production. The aim of this paper is to show that the mobilisation of risk management tools by agri-food members is a solution that could allow better management of their activities and significantly improve the resilience of their systems.
