Muscat: As per the Royal directives of His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik, Dr. Saud bin Hamoud Al Habsi, Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Water Resources, left here today to lead the Sultanate of Oman's delegation at the 2nd UN Food Systems Summit Stocktake (UNFSS+4) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The two-day summit, beginning tomorrow (Monday), is jointly organized by the governments of Ethiopia and Italy. The summit will focus on addressing challenges and opportunities in developing sustainable food systems while supporting international efforts to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Since the previous UN Food Systems Summit+2, the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Water Resources has aligned its sectoral strategies with both the "Oman Vision 2040" - particularly its "Sustainable Environment" pillar for natural resource conservation - and the UN's SDGs in coordination with guidelines from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). The participation underscores Oman's commitment to global food security initiatives while implementing national policies for sustainable resource management. The summit comes as countries worldwide reassess food systems following recent global supply chain disruptions and climate change impacts on agricultural production. Oman's delegation will share the country's experiences in water resource management, fisheries sustainability, and agricultural development during the working sessions. This high-level UN meeting brings together policymakers, scientists, and private sector representatives to evaluate progress since the 2021 Food Systems Summit and accelerate transformation toward more resilient, equitable and sustainable food production and distribution networks worldwide. Oman's involvement reflects its active role in addressing both regional and global food security challenges through multilateral cooperation.
