Ireland has adopted a ‘whole-of-Government’ approach to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with each Minister having responsibility for implementing individual SDG targets related to their functions. My Department is a lead on the following five SDGs:

- Goal 2:Zero Hunger

- Goal 12:Responsible Consumption and Production

- Goal 14:Life below Water

- Goal 15:Life on Land

- Goal 17:Partnerships for the Goals

Progress on these is published on irelandsdg.geohive.ie/.

Food Vision 2030, Ireland's ten year agri-food strategy published by my Department in 2021 cross-references the SDGs against 22 Goals across 4 high level missions for the agri-food sector with the SDGs also referenced in the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine Statement of Strategy for 2021-2024.
