The new LRD strategic plan has three objectives: improved food and nutritional security; integrated and sustainable agriculture and forestry resource management and development; and improved bio-security and increased trade in agriculture and forestry products. The second and third objectives continued from the previous plan, although the respective outputs have been broadened in coverage and deepend in scope. The first is a new objective, brought to the fore by the global soaring food (and fuel) price crisis.
