Key Goals of the Program:
Raise public awareness on reducing food waste.
Develop precise tools to monitor food loss across supply chains.
Promote redistribution and food recycling initiatives.
Strengthen partnerships between public, private, and nonprofit sectors.
Encourage innovation in food preservation, storage, and logistics.
The program represents a critical step toward achieving national food security, reducing financial losses, and minimizing the environmental footprint of food waste in the Kingdom.
