Food Systems Subcommittee

The Food System Subcommittee (FSS) operates under the MENA2050 Climate Action Committee, consisting of experts dedicated to addressing the complex challenges of our global and regional agri-food systems, in line with the principles of the MENA2050 Green Prosperity Manifesto. The collective goal of the FSS is to drive a comprehensive 'Agri-Food Systems Transformation' within the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. This transformation aims to address urgent issues such as food insecurity, climate change, desertification, and socio-economic disparities, while also capitalizing on the region’s unique opportunities in entrepreneurship, rich culinary culture, strategic location and climatic diversity.By leveraging interdisciplinary expertise and fostering collaboration across sectors, the Food System Subcommittee strives to advance innovative solutions that promote sustainability, resilience, and equity throughout the agri-food systems in the MENA region. Through research, thought leadership, policy advocacy, and community engagement, their aim is to cultivate more inclusive agri-food systems that benefits both current and future generations, socially, environmentally, and economically, while honoring regional culinary culture and traditions.
