| SDG Indicator Name | Proportion of agricultural area under productive and sustainable agriculture |
|---|---|
| SDG Target Addressed | By 2030, ensure sustainable food production systems and implement resilient agricultural practices that increase productivity and production, that help maintain ecosystems, that strengthen capacity for adaptation to climate change, extreme weather, drought, flooding and other disasters and that progressively improve land and soil quality. |
| Definition of SDG Indicator | The denominator, agricultural area, is a well-known and established indicator that are collected by statistical bodies in countries and compiled internationally via a questionnaire by FAO. These data are available in FAO's database FAOSTAT. The numerator captures the three dimensions of sustainable production: environmental, economic and social. The measurement instrument ' farm surveys ' will give countries the flexibility to identify issues related to sustainability that are most relevant to priorities/challenges within these three dimensions. Land under productive and sustainable agriculture will be those farms that satisfy indicators selected across all three dimension |
