Dubai, UAE, June 02, 2024,
Dubai Municipality announced the three winners of 'Dubai's Best Homegrown Produce

Competition,' which aims to promote a culture of sustainable agriculture through the
production of agricultural products and crops at home. The initiative was launched to raise

community awareness of the latest practices and techniques in modern, sustainable
agriculture.

The competition was introduced by the Municipality in March of 2024 as one of the initiatives

under 'Dubai Farms,' a program that aims to support citizens who are successful agricultural
entrepreneurs, encourage local agriculture to boost local production and improve food

security in the Emirate of Dubai, in line with the objectives of Dubai Social Agenda 33.

In keeping with Dubai Municipality's commitment to fostering community practices, the
competition encouraged citizens to promote sustainable agriculture for its vital role in

supporting food security, self-sufficiency, and the preservation of environmental resources.
This commitment further aligns with the objectives of the National Food Security Strategy, as

well as the Dubai Food Security Strategy, which seeks to enhance domestic production and
reduce food loss and wastage, thereby solidifying Dubai's position as a leading destination

that seamlessly blends environmental and food sustainability.
