In a significant step toward a more sustainable future, Zaad Holdings Limited, a leading company in combating food waste, has announced its collaboration with the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE).

A memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed on the sidelines of the Abu Dhabi Food Exhibition on November 26, 2024. This partnership aims to address food loss and waste, raise awareness, and educate the community about the impact of food waste and ways to reduce it in the UAE.

"Our collaboration with Zaad underscores MOCCAE's dedication to strengthening partnerships with the private sector and enhancing its role in achieving our goals for promoting sustainable practices within UAE society."
Eng. Alia Abdulrahim Al Harmoodi, Assistant Undersecretary for the Sustainable Communities Sector at MOCCAE

The collaboration reflects the commitment of both MOCCAE and Zaad to increase public awareness and educate individuals about the effects of food loss and waste while engaging the food private sector and the community in efforts to enhance national food security. Reducing food loss and waste is a key objective of the UAE's National Food Security Strategy 2051, which emphasizes maximizing the use of food resources and minimizing waste.

"We are excited to support and commit to MOCCAE's vision and create a sustainable future through protecting and developing environmental systems and ensuring a prosperous future for our beloved nation."
Mr. Saleh Sayed Ahmed Hashem, Co-founder and CEO of Zaad Holdings Limited
