The Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (MoAL) of Bhutan is the government body responsible for formulating and implementing policies, plans, and programs related to agriculture, livestock, food security, and natural resource management in the country. Its core mandate is to promote sustainable agricultural development that enhances rural livelihoods, ensures food self-sufficiency, and contributes to Bhutan’s overall economic growth while preserving its rich biodiversity and environment.

MoAL oversees various departments and agencies, including agriculture, livestock, research and extension services, and rural development. The ministry plays a vital role in supporting Bhutan's rural population—where a large portion of the population depends on farming and livestock for their livelihood—by providing technical services, subsidies, education, and infrastructure development. Its work aligns with Bhutan’s national priorities, including the principles of Gross National Happiness and climate resilience.
