I would like to draw your attention on aquaculture as a specific form of farming system, and with specific value chains.
Aquaculture is included in the guidance, but this sector is quite specific compared to terrestrial animal rearing and farming systems and would need to be better accounted for, especially under the scope of "agriculture production". For example, under the Environment dimension, in relation to Soils and Fertilisers aquaculture is excluded, when in fact it can have an impact on soil quality/degradation (e.g. shrimp ponds), and some freshwater pond farming system do rely on fertiliser use and fertilisation.
I have not delved into all the details of the document and indicators, but more specific comments with regards to aquaculture are included in the attachment.
Best wishes in this important endeavour.
