Abstract

The goal of the agriculture development agenda is to build Sustainable Community, which alludes to the rural and urban communities as the national government’s primary responsibility to ensure food security alongside the primary economic goal of increasing income and employment opportunities in the rural communities. This underlying goal is to establish a diversified economically and environmentally sustainable agriculture economy. To attain this purpose, five agriculture development objectives must be attained: 1) to build modern agriculture as a system of producing, processing, and marketing crops, livestock, and aquaculture products; 2) to develop integrated production, processing, energy, and transport infrastructure support system for agriculture; 3) to improve delivery of agriculture support services; 4) to enhance capabilities to generate fund and investment through foreign and private public investment; and 5) to improve policy formulation capability within the Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) and its partner institutions. The Animal Health Direction aims to develop prosperous, efficient and sustainable animal health and production systems to produce healthy animals and safe products for food security and income generation.
