SDGs fail to address interlinkages between goals and targets - Agriculture and Ecosystems Blog

SDGs fail to address interlinkages between goals and targets - Agriculture and Ecosystems Blog: "Care must be taken to simultaneously defeat hunger, increase agricultural productivity and avoid adverse impacts on the natural resource base. If we do not address key interlinkages among goals and targets, and reduce tradeoffs, several goals will remain out of reach of the poorest.

For example, an increase in agricultural land to help end hunger can lead to biodiversity loss, as well as overuse and/or pollution of water resources and downstream (likely negative) effects on marine resources, which in turn could exacerbate food security concerns."
