Definition of the SDG indicator: Indicator 2.2.2 is the “prevalence of malnutrition among children under 5 years of age, by type (wasting and overweight)” in the UN SDG framework.4

“Wasting” or being overweight are both defined as being malnourished.

A child is defined as "wasted" if their weight-for-height is more than 2 standard deviations below the median of the WHO Child Growth Standards.

A child is defined as "overweight" if their weight-for-height is more than 2 standard deviations above the median of the WHO Child Growth Standards.

The interactive visualizations show data for this indicator. The first chart shows the share of children under 5 who are wasted, and the second chart shows the share who are overweight.

Target: By 2030 “end all forms of malnutrition, including achieving, by 2025, the internationally agreed targets on stunting and wasting in children under 5 years of age.”3

This targets an elimination of wasting, and the prevalence of children being overweight by 2030.

Definition of the SDG indicator: Indicator 2.3.1 is the “volume of production per labour unit by classes of farming/pastoral/forestry enterprise size” in the UN SDG framework.

This indicator is measured as the ratio of annual output to the number of working days in a year.

Data for this indicator on small-scale food producers is shown in the interactive visualization. Small-scale food producers are those whose land size, livestock, and economic revenue from agricultural activities fall in the bottom 40 percent of the national distributions of these measures.

The second chart shows a related measure, the agricultural value added per worker.

Target: By 2030 “double the agricultural productivity and incomes of small-scale food producers, in particular women, indigenous peoples, family farmers, pastoralists and fishers, including through secure and equal access to land, other productive resources and inputs, knowledge, financial services, markets and opportunities for value addition and non-farm employment.”
