In the United Arab Emirates, a new era of responsibility for food waste is dawning
In the United Arab Emirates, a new era of responsibility for food waste is dawning. The country's authorities are tackling this global issue by introducing strict penalties for improper disposal of food products.
This step aims to encourage more mindful consumption and change societal perspectives on a concern that raises alarm worldwide. The UAE generates an annual waste of 6 billion dirhams, a worrisome figure, especially considering the severity of the hunger issue affecting millions worldwide.
As part of an ambitious plan by 2030, the UAE aims to halve the amount of food waste. This plan has garnered support from leading companies and organizations in the food industry.
Furthermore, at the upcoming COP28 summit, the Emirates intend to present their strategies and urge other countries to join in ratifying their declaration on building sustainable food systems and agricultural development.
