  • Improving the efficiency in the use of resources
  • Direct action to conserve, protect and enhance natural resources
  • Agriculture that protects and improves rural livelihoods, equity and social well-being
  • Enhanced resilience of people, communities and ecosystems
  • Responsible and effective government mechanisms
