Saturday, September 28, 2024
On this International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste, the UAE reaffirms its unwavering commitment to tackling this critical global challenge. While the world produces enough food for all, millions still face hunger – a stark reality fuelled by the staggering amount of food lost and wasted every year. This waste not only undermines global food security but also represents a significant loss of resources, impacting economies and damaging the environment.
