This document discusses several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their corresponding indicators related to food security, irrigation, and water use efficiency. It outlines SDG targets and indicators for ending hunger (SDG 2.1), doubling agricultural productivity and incomes (SDG 2.3.1), ensuring sustainable agricultural practices (SDG 2.4.1), increasing the percentage of agricultural households using irrigation (SDG 2.4.2), improving water use efficiency (SDG 6.4.1), managing water stress (SDG 6.4.2), decoupling economic growth from environmental degradation (SDG 8.4.1), sustainably managing natural resources (SDG 12.2), and reducing food
