Aichi Target 7 requires that by 2020 agricultural areas, forests and aquatic resources are managed sustainably ensuring conservation of biodiversity. To date, for agricultural land only subjective indicators, such as the area under “sustainable management”, have been proposed and there is an urgent need to develop a framework of objective metrics. This framework should provide a robust system for monitoring agricultural sustainability and its contribution to biodiversity conservation at national scales for reporting to the CBD.
