Nutrition shortfall endangering Arab security
A report indicates that the nutritional gap in Arab countries amounts to $47 billion. Despite the availability of approximately 210 million hectares of arable land, exploitation is limited to only one-third of it, most of which is concentrated in regions with heavy rainfall. The area faces significant challenges, including climate change, geopolitical issues, and shortages of water and financial resources, which hinder investment in the agricultural sector. This results in a waste of 20% of agricultural production. Additionally, the growing population demands an increase in production of at least 3% annually to meet the needs. To address these issues, an Arab Food Innovation Fund has been announced with a value of one billion dollars, aiming to support innovation, develop food industries, and boost domestic trade and value chains.
