The Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (漁農自然護理署), formerly Agriculture and Fisheries Department (漁農署) before 2000, of the Hong Kong Government is responsible for agriculture and fisheries in Hong Kong, conservation projects and issues, and managing the country parks and special areas. It reports to the Secretary for Health, Welfare and Food and Secretary for the Environment, Transport and Works (Secretary for Economic Services before 2000).
The department is headed by the Director of Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation.
Plans have been revealed to restructure this department together with the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD). The department will take up the environmental hygiene responsibility form the FEHD, and will be renamed Agriculture, Fisheries, Environmental Hygiene and Conservation Department.[citation needed]
