UAE Food Bank launches 5 initiatives to distribute 5 million meals during

Ramadan

‘No for Wasting Food’ initiative

The UAE Food Bank’s ‘Food Rescue’ initiative strives to recycle unsuitable food for

human consumption, diverting it from landfills and transforming it into fertilisers.

This will be implemented in cooperation with the National Food Loss and Waste

initiative ‘Nema’ and partnership with the private sector. The initiative aims to recycle
1.5 million meals of surplus food and turn it into fertiliser that will be distributed to

farmers in the Hatta region. Fighting hunger, supporting food security

With a focus on managing surplus food, minimising waste, and distributing food to
beneficiaries around the world, the bank operates within a well-structured

institutional framework. These efforts align seamlessly with the UAE’s core values of

kindness and generosity, its commitment to humanitarian work, and its support for

global food security, sustainable development goals, and the fight against hunger.
