Dubai Municipality in implementing strategies to strengthen food security efforts within the
Emirate.” Graziato added.

affected. This seeks to enhance decision-making and preparedness to address the risks
associated with food security crises and emergencies, further mitigating shortages, and
enabling expedited responses.
