Director of the Food Security Department at the Ministry of Municipality Dr Masoud Jarallah al-Marri has stressed that the National Food Security Strategy 2030 is an ambitious roadmap to achieve sustainability in Qatar's food system in the face of global challenges.
He pointed out that the new food security strategy aims to build a resilient and sustainable food system, through co-operation with all stakeholders in the public and private sectors, based on three main pillars: developing local production and local markets, developing strategic stocks and warning systems, and boosting international trade and investment.
Regarding the development of local production and local markets, local production of targeted products such as vegetables, red meat, fish, and table eggs is developed, using modern and sustainable technologies such as hydroponic and vertical farming systems, he said, adding that this pillar includes supporting farmers and producers through guidance and knowledge transfer to improve production efficiency and utilisation of natural resources.
