Proportion of agricultural land under productive and sustainable agriculture |
|---|---|
| Target |
2.4 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 |
| Goal |
2- End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture |
| Definition |
Proportion of agricultural land with a desirable or acceptable level of:
|
| Theoretical formula |
Proportion of agricultural area where a desirable or acceptable level of production per hectare has been achieved \[PSANR_{\text{desirable or acceptable}}^{t} = \frac{SANR_{\text{desirable}}^{t} + SANR_{\text{acceptable}}^{t}}{SANR_{\text{desirable}}^{t} + SANR_{\text{acceptable}}^{t} + SANR_{\text{unsustainable}}^{t}}\]where: $SANR_{\text{desirable}}^{t}$ = Agricultural area corresponding to those agricultural holdings where their production per hectare is greater than or equal to 2/3 of the 90th percentile of the production per hectare of agricultural holdings in the same territory and technical-economic orientation (agriculture, livestock, or mixed) in the year $t$ $SANR_{\text{acceptable}}^{t}$ = Agricultural area corresponding to those agricultural holdings where their production per hectare is less than two-thirds but greater than or equal to one-third of the 90th percentile of the production per hectare of agricultutal holdings in the same territory and with a technical-economic orientation (agriculture, livestock, or mixed) in the year $t$ $SANR_{\text{unsustainable}}^{t}$ = Agricultural area corresponding to those agricultural holdings where their production per hectare is less than 1/3 of the 90th percentile of the production per hectare of agricultural holdings in the same territory and technical-economic orientation (agriculture, livestock, or mixed) in the year $t$ Proportion of agricultural area where a desirable or acceptable level of net income has been achieved \[PSANR_{\text{desirable or acceptable}}^{t} = \frac{SANR_{\text{desirable}}^{t} + SANR_{\text{acceptable}}^{t}} {SANR_{\text{desirable}}^{t} + SANR_{\text{acceptable}}^{t} + SANR_{\text{unsustainable}}^{t}}\]where: $SANR_{\text{desirable}}^t$ = Agricultural area corresponding to those agricultural holdings where their net income has been positive in the years $t$, $t-1$ and $t-2$ $SANR_{\text{acceptable}}^t$ = Agricultural area corresponding to those agricultural holdings where their net income has been positive in at least one of the years $t$, $t-1$ and $t-2$, but not in all of them $SANR_{\text{unsustainable}}^t$ = Agricultural area corresponding to those agricultural holdings where their net income has not been positive in any of the years $t$, $t-1$ and $t-2$ |

| Observations |
When interpreting the series “Proportion of agricultural land with a desirable or acceptable level of production per hectare”, it should be noted that it is a relative indicator, since the productivity level of an agricultural holding depends not only on its production per hectare, but also on the production per hectare of agricultural holdings in the same territory and with the same technical and economic orientation (agriculture, livestock, or mixed). When interpreting the series “Proportion of agricultural land with a desirable or acceptable level of net income”, it should be noted that it is an absolute indicator, since the profitability of an agricultural holding depends exclusively on its net income over the past three years. |
