Dubai Municipality announced the ‘Dubai’s Best Homegrown Produce Competition’, one
of the programs under Dubai Farms, which seeks to support citizen farmers who are
productive agricultural entrepreneurs and to promote local agriculture for increased local
production, and enhanced food security in the Emirate of Dubai. The move comes in
line with the objectives of Dubai Social Agenda 33, aimed at empowering Dubai citizens
and increasing their productivity and economic contribution, thereby achieving self-
sufficiency and physical, family, and social independence.

The competition aims to promote a culture of productive agriculture, adopt the concept
of environmental sustainability, and achieve self-sufficiency of the family from
agricultural products and crops produced in their homes as they will be at the level of
the emirate's neighborhoods, as well as raise community awareness on the latest
methods and techniques in agriculture.
