Core food and agricultural indicators for measuring the private sector’s contribution to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals
Q-Are the associated indicators adequate to measure private sector entities’ contribution to the SDGs?
Answer: The report is quite comprehensive but I feel private sectors institutional characteristics including innovativeness needs to be captured
Q-If not, where are the gaps?
Answer:
Q- Would it be helpful to include the specific list of indicators which apply to each type of production, e.g. aquaculture, livestock, crop production?
Answer: No there should be a standard format that can be adopted by all the sub-sectors for ease of reporting.
Best regards.

Some keywords that are germane to gender equality are consideration, acceptance, empathy and love. In the context of food security and nutrition, gaps need to be filled. Those disadvantaged in terms of production resources and decision on output including nutrition should be deliberately targeted. The vulnerable ones in most societies especially developing nations are usually women and girls. Therefore, the socialization process from the cradle and the value system will have to be sensitized with focus on the keywords for better awareness of gender equality. A lot of achievements have been made which could improve with time.
