Enums

Name Description Type
Criterion category Category of an indicator selection criterion. Enum
Eu sdg indicators Indicators of the 2025 edition of the EU sustainable development goals (SDG) monitoring report. Enum
Food system activity Food systems encompass activities related to the food supply chains, food environments, and food demand, as well as the use of natural resource, consumption and diets, and waste, by-products and recycling. These ultimately have an effect on food system outcomes. Enum
Food system outcome Food system outcomes, being impact related to environment, economic, social and health, are a result of food systems. This framework distinguishes five different type of food system impacts: environmental, economic, social, health, and the overarching food security and resilience. Enum
Eurostat unit of measurement Food system indicator units of measurement imported from the Eurostat unit of measure dictionary/vocabulary. Enum
Score category Score category Enum
Spatial granularity The granularity for which the indicator is measured. Enum
Spatial scope type The spatial scope for which the indicator is defined. Enum
Supply chain component type The supply chain component for which the indicator is relevant. Enum
Sustainability dimension TODO Enum
Sustainability impact type The type of sustainability impact the indicator measures. Enum
