The campaign aims to promote positive behaviour among all segments of society to reduce FLW. This strategy is part of Plan Abu Dhabi to achieve a balanced and sustainable development. It is also within the framework of the approved foundational plan in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. In addition, it supports efforts to achieve the goals of the UAE National Food Security Strategy, which aims to reduce FLW by 50% by 2030, in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goal on responsible production and consumption. The strategy is based on five core pillars, from which numerous initiatives are launched to address FLW practices.
