TunisiaGuaranteeing food security, resilience, and sustainability in the Euro-Mediterranean region
The Union for the Mediterranean, with the support of the German Development Cooperation, partnered with the League of Arab States to organise the High-Level Conference on Food Industry for Food Security. Titled “Towards More Resilient Regional Supply Chains and a More Sustainable Food Industry,” the event took place at the League of Arab States headquarters in Cairo.
The conference, which kicked off a day after visits to Egyptian food sector companies, brought together participants from across the Euro-Mediterranean region to discuss the current state of the food industry, strategies to enhance its resilience, and pathways to foster sustainability. These issues have become particularly pressing given the global context of skyrocketing energy prices, staggering inflation rates, and supply chain disruptions that have led to volatile prices and food shortages.
UfM Secretary General Nasser Kamel opened the event alongside League of Arab States Deputy Secretary General Khaled Almanzalawi and Christian Berger, the Head of the EU delegation to Egypt. They highlighted the urgency of ensuring food security across the region and strengthening cooperation to fight against hunger.
