Three additional targets address implementation issues: finance and trade and
markets:
Target 2.A Increase investment, including through enhanced international cooperation, in rural infrastructure, agricultural research and extension services,
technology development, and plant and livestock gene banks in order to
enhance agricultural productive capacity in developing countries, in
particular, least developed countries.
Metric 2.A.1: The agriculture orientation index for government
expenditures.
Metric 2.A.2: Total official flows (official development assistance plus
other official flows) to the agriculture sector.
Target 2.B Target 2.B. Correct and prevent trade restrictions and distortions in
world agricultural markets, including through the parallel elimination
of all forms of agricultural export subsidies and all export measures
with equivalent effect, in accordance with the mandate of the Doha
Development Round of the World Trade Organization (see Sect. 6.2.3).
Metric 2.B.1: Producer Support Estimate.
Metric 2.B.2: Agricultural export subsidies.
Target 2.C Target 2.C. Adopt measures to ensure the proper functioning of Food
Commodity (agricultural) markets and their derivatives and facilitate
timely access to market information, including on food reserves, in
order to help limit extreme food price volatility.
Metric 2.C.1: Indicator of food price anomalies.
SDG 2 is a far cry from the hunger component of MDG 1. The two MGD food
metrics are replaced by 14, which move toward a food system perspective. Each of
the four attributes of food security (availability, access, utilization and stability, and
sustainability) have some metrics. Each year, the Food and Agricultural Organization
of the United Nations (FAO) leads an annual global review of the state of food security, which provides some tracking of SDG 2.
3.7.2 SDG 6 Water
Sustainable Development Goal 6 aims to “ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.” To achieve this goal, SDG has the following targets and indicators/metrics:
Target 6.1. By 2030, achieve universal and equitable access to safe and affordable
drinking water for all.
Metric 6.1.1: Proportion of population using safely managed drinking
water services. Note that this metric is the highest level of the JMP
“drinking water ladder” described above (Sect. 3.5.2). Figure 3.7 shows
those without access to basic improved sources of drinking water. This
