9/3/24, 3:01 PM Report by LOGIC Consulting: UAE seeking a leap in its national food security
In order to address these issues, leadership in the UAE has launched what they call the

National Strategy for Food Security, which aims to promote sustainable food production

using innovative technologies.

“This initiative aims to position the UAE as the global leader in the Global Food Security

Index by 2051 and within the top 10 countries in the near future,” notes the LOGIC

Consulting report.

“The strategy seeks to establish a comprehensive national system that promotes

sustainable food production through advanced technologies and enhances local outputs.

Significant advancements have been made in integrating advanced technology into key

sectors to enhance services, promote societal well-being, and strengthen food security.”

Currently, the UAE imports up to 90% of its food supply. But a few recent laws sought to

change that.

A law passed in 2017 established the Emirati Food Bank, which distributes excess food to

the needy, and a 2020 law regulated food reserves that could be used during crises or

emergencies. In 2022, the country launched the innovative Food Technology Valley Project

scheme, a sort of pilot initiative in high-tech agriculture.
