FOOD AND WATER SECURITY
Introduction:
Food and water security is a major concern in a range of countries due to economic and
politic crisis which resulted in the inability to produce enough food for feeding the population.
Due to limited water and food supply in arable land, food and water security have become a
national policy priority for the UAE (Rashid, 2020). While UAE is importing the majority of
their food supplies, it is considered as a food secure country due to the capacity to purchase food
on the international market. In 2016, the UAE, through its Al-Dahra Holding Company, built 20
storage tower in an area covering approximately 45,000 square meters alongside the port of
Fujairah for importing the food. However, in the recent era, food security remains a concern for
UAE, especially in the long term, because of supply challenges for importation and production.
The underlying reason can be the global rising of the food price in UAE that may result in
scarcity of water and food supply in future. This paper aims to provide an in-depth analysis of
the importance of water and food security UAE in the following paragraphs.
