Sagar Foods Ltd funds a project that installs solar-powered irrigation pumps for small farmers in a drought-prone district, reducing diesel use and raising crop yield. The company's report claims the project contributes to three SDGs. Which set of goals is the most defensible?

The most defensible set is SDG 7, SDG 13 and SDG 2. Solar pumps give clean energy, lower diesel emissions for climate action, and better yields support food security. The other sets rely on outcomes, such as health, education or justice, that the project does not show.

  1. ASDG 7, SDG 13 and SDG 2Correct
  2. BSDG 3, SDG 4 and SDG 10
  3. CSDG 11, SDG 14 and SDG 16
  4. DSDG 1, SDG 5 and SDG 17 only

Explanation

Solar pumps provide clean energy (SDG 7), cut diesel emissions (SDG 13), and higher yields support food security (SDG 2). The other sets do not follow from the described outputs and outcomes; they would need evidence of health, education or institutional results.
