Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetGlobal Indicator Proposals for the Sustainable Development Goals and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
A Contribution by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
2015Also available in:
No results found.This document presents a proposal of indicators that could be considered for FAO to monitor progress towards a subset of Goals for which the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) define targets aimed towards various outcomes, as well as additional targets addressing related Means of Implementation. The proposals comprise both established and potential indicators in areas where FAO has unique expertise and abundant experience as the leading UN specialized bod y committed to food security and sustainable development. These areas include ending hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition; better managing natural resources; and ensuring more sustainable ecological processes for a healthier environment. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetMeasuring progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals at indicator, target and goal level 2023
Also available in:
No results found.The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is fully committed to support countries’ efforts to monitor the 2030 Agenda, in particular the 21 Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) indicators under its custodianship. Seven years into the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, assessing whether and when the SDG targets and goals will be achieved, while leaving no one behind, is becoming a pressing need. The Office of Chief Statistician of FAO has devoted great efforts to develop and implement a standardized and sound statistical methodology to assess the current status and progress towards the SDG targets and goals. The proposed approach is used to produce FAO’s annual report “Tracking progress on food and agriculture-related SDG indicators”, which includes a statistical progress assessment and a statistical technical annex. FAO’s methodology was adopted for the production of the Global SDG Progress Chart, harmonizing the progress assessment approaches proposed by different international organizations. FAO can support countries in adopting the proposed methodology to monitor SDG progress at the national and sub-national level, and in preparing Voluntary National Reviews, including a statistical analysis of the current status and progress towards the SDG targets and goals. -
Book (series)Defining smallholders to monitor target 2.3. of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development 2017
Also available in:
No results found.Despite the central position occupied by smallholder agriculture in the current development debate, a general and operational definition of smallholders still does not exist. The question “what is a small farm?” keeps receiving different answers depending on the context in which is posed. Alternative ways of defining smallholders reflect heterogeneous historical, institutional, eco-systemic contexts and depend upon what is the role of small-scale agriculture in the rural economy. A harmonized an d unique definition of smallholder agriculture still needs to be established and operationalized. This has become a pressing issue given the need to monitor the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which refers to the concept of smallholder in indicators 2.3.1 and 2.3.2. Within this context, this present paper reviews different approaches adopted in the literature to define small-scale food producers, and highlights pros and cons associated with each alternative. It identifies criteria to be c onsidered in a harmonized definition of this concept and reflects on the difference between absolute and relative approaches. Given the absence of a one-size-fits-all solution, the “right” definition will likely depend on the particular purposes of the analysis and the trade-off between completeness and feasibility.
