Government of Canada - Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada
The Federal Sustainable Development Strategy (FSDS) sets out the Government of Canada's sustainable development priorities, establishes goals and targets, and identifies actions to achieve them. The 2019-2022 FSDS outlines what the Government of Canada will do to promote clean growth, ensure healthy ecosystems, and build safe, secure, and sustainable communities over the next three years. Departments and agencies across government contribute to implementing the strategy and achieving results. The Federal Sustainable Development Act requires federal organizations to prepare their own strategies that comply with, and contribute to, the FSDS, within one year of the FSDS being tabled in Parliament.
This Departmental Sustainable Development Strategy (DSDS) describes Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada's objectives and plans for sustainable development appropriate to its mandate. It articulates the Department's contributions to the goals and targets of the FSDS, as well as the application of strategic environmental assessments. Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada will contribute directly through its DSDS to three of the thirteen goals of Canada's 2019-2022 FSDS: Effective Action on Climate Change; Greening Government; and Sustainable Food.
