Parameters and their target SDGs

ParameterRelevant SDG(s)Specific SDG goals and targetsReferences
Commercial land areas owned by multinational corporations (MNCs) or individuals for residential development significantly contribute to understanding how land acquisitions and exploitation negatively impact agricultureSDG 11: Sustainable Cities and CommunitiesTarget 11.3: Enhance inclusive and sustainable urbanizationBastan et al. (2017) 
SDG 15: Life on LandTarget 15.3: Combat desertification and restore degraded land
Farming turnover explains the economic value of harvest based on the profit generated. It is influenced by the total area of land used for rice cultivation and the efficiency of farming practicesSDG 2: Zero HungerTarget 2.3: Double agricultural productivity and incomes of small-scale farmersJifroudi et al. (2020), Khandelwal et al. (2021) 
SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic GrowthTarget 8.2: Promote high levels of economic productivity
Demand and affordability greatly impact agricultural land availability. As demand influences land prices, this parameter is crucial for analyzing its effectSDG 2: Zero HungerTarget 2.3: Secure land availability for sustainable food productionKhandelwal et al. (2021) 
SDG 15: Life on LandTarget 15.3: Restore degraded land and achieve land degradation neutrality
Affordability and the cost of acquiring land required for cultivation are key factors in determining agricultural output. Higher costs per hectare result in reduced land being used for farmingSDG 8: Decent Work and Economic GrowthTarget 8.10: Enhance access to financial servicesBastan et al. (2017), Khandelwal et al. (2021) 
SDG 2: Zero HungerTarget 2.3: Increase in agricultural incomes by improving affordability
SDG 1: No PovertyTarget 1.4: Equal access to resources like land
The per capita consumption of water affects its availability for farming. An increase in the former reduces the latter proportionately. Population growth determines water consumption and demand for residential or commercial landsSDG 6: Clean Water and SanitationTarget 6.4: Substantially increase water-use efficiency 
SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and ProductionTarget 12.2: Sustainable management of natural resources
Agricultural resources are limited due to the growing demands of an expanding population. The efficiency of any SC is dependent on two main factors: production rate and overall profit. Researchers have become interested in these factors and have analyzed them using various tools and simulation methodsSDG 2: Zero HungerTarget 2.1: End hunger and ensure food accessFood and Agricultural Organisation (2017) 
SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and CommunitiesTarget 11.3: Manage urbanization to reduce resource strain
Rainfall is a critical factor impacting agricultural activities in countries like India, where approximately 60% of farmland relies on monsoon rainsSDG 13: Climate ActionTarget 13.1: Strengthen resilience to climate-related hazardsZhao et al. (2024) 
SDG 2: Zero HungerTarget 2.4: Ensure resilient agricultural practices that improve yield
Water usage is primarily concentrated in agriculture and industry. Maintaining a balance between these two areas is crucial to avoid shortages, making this an essential factor in analyzing agricultural SC’sSDG 6: Clean Water and SanitationTarget 6.4: Increase water-use efficiency and sustainabilityKafi et al. (2023) 
SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and ProductionTarget 12.4: Sustainable water resource management to prevent shortages
