| Target 2: By 2020, sustainably increase by X% - as compared to 2005-07 baseline - water productivity per unit land and per year (yield per m-3, per ha and per year) of irrigated agriculture (for specific crop categories) | Water for Food Institute, Nebraska University Food and Agriculture Organisation | |
| Target 3: Increase sustainably productivity and lower costs of water management (yield per ha, per m3 of water and per $$ of production cost) in such a way that by year 20yy there is food security at affordable prices for all | International Commission for Irrigation and Drainage/French National Committee | Americas Central Asia |
| Target 4: By year 20yy, increase by x% - as compared to 2005-07 baseline - the safe use of non-conventional waters, either (treated) waste water or other low-quality water, in agriculture | International Center for Biosaline agriculture | Americas |
| Target 5: By year 20yy increase by xx% the capacity of water storages in support of irrigated agriculture (either supplementary, deficit, or full irrigation) - within the framework of an environmentally sufficient and socially sound management | International Commission for Irrigation and Drainage/French National Committee | |
| Target 6: By 20yy, develop and adopt two “regional” (e.g. West Africa; Europe / Euro-Med) visions for food security and water, and 200 local sustainable agriculture plans | Arab Water Council | |
| Target 7: By 20yy, develop national strategic action programmes for key ‘hotspot’ aquifers exploited by intensive agricultural use (% aquifer depletion, % pollution), including a local definition of maximum admissible drawdown (MAD)and local definition of maximum admissible pollution levels (MAP) for agricultural uses | Food and Agriculture Organisation French High Council for Food, Agriculture and Rural Space | |
| Target 8: By 2015, define water-related components of a strategy that will improve food supply chain efficiency by 50% and promote sustainable diets, including steps for its implementation by 2025 | Stockholm International Water Institute Food and Agriculture Organisation | |
| Target 9: By 2015, elaborate international agricultural water-related guidelines to support the small-holders farmers in order to better manage agricultural water, produce more goods and services | Coordination SUD |
