Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed, the UAE's Vice President and Deputy Prime Minister, has called for innovation and resilience to bolster global food security as an international summit kicked off in Abu Dhabi. Speaking through his official X account, Sheikh Mansour emphasized the importance of developing food systems that can withstand future challenges for sustained development worldwide.
In a statement, he expressed the UAE's commitment to collaborating with global partners to create innovative solutions that enhance and secure food systems. He highlighted the aim of building a more resilient and efficient food system that conserves resources and adapts to emerging challenges.
Earlier this month, Khalifa Al Marar, the UAE's Minister of State, warned at an Arria-formula meeting during the UN General Assembly in New York that disruptions to global supply chains could push tens of millions into acute food insecurity. He stressed the critical role of securing supply chains, trade routes, and energy flows in maintaining international peace and stability, warning that such disruptions directly impact food security and the availability of essential fertilizers for global agriculture.
The second Global Food Security Summit, currently underway in Abu Dhabi as part of Global Food Week, brings together governments, international organizations, investors, researchers, and industry leaders to explore strategies for safeguarding supplies amidst challenges such as climate change, geopolitical tensions, supply-chain disruptions, and rising costs.
The summit, hosted under Sheikh Mansour's patronage, has attracted participants from 92 countries, with speakers from 30 nations convening for discussions on international cooperation to strengthen food systems, leveraging artificial intelligence, sustainable water management, and technological advancements.
