To address food security and agriculture concerns, Abu Dhabi’s Agriculture and Food Safety Authority (ADAFSA) has launched a data-backed platform in collaboration with partners from the public and private sectors.

The Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Security Data Platform is a gateway for providing accurate and comprehensive information on all aspects of the agriculture and food sector across the emirate. 

The platform enables the analysis of updated data to support policymakers in decision-making, contributing to improving the efficiency and effectiveness of food security policies and programs, developing a sustainable and integrated food system, and mitigating any threats or risks to food security and biosecurity in Abu Dhabi and the UAE as a whole.

The platform will monitor the local, regional and global food security situation through an integrated dashboard covering more than 335 indicators and supporting a flexible response to food emergencies, animal diseases and agricultural pests. 

The platform will collect all data related to agriculture, food, and food security, such as data on local agricultural production, both crops and livestock, trade and investment data, future production data, and strategic food reserve levels, as well as data on food loss and waste rates throughout the value chain. 

This data will be updated in real-time, and over 200 dashboards will display it, along with analytical reports and future forecasts that help in sound planning and addressing threats to food and biosecurity.
