Season's Greetings Ravinder,
Your work and approach sound interesting, although most of it is not in my direct area of work. I can think of possible ways involving satellite data that can provide some insights at moderate/low resolution (village or farm field level). It should be possible to assess the impact of different practices on the vegetation / food system productivity, and consequently on SDG goals.
Please feel free to connect in case you would like to know more.

I have used clustering algorithms to segregate satellite data and tag different regions with the crop grown in each region. The biggest challenge I have faced in applying AI is the availability of reliable data from field. Typical evaluation surveys are not sufficient to implement AI. In my opinion, large scale 'open' datasets are necessary before AI gets meaningful.
