Saudi Arabia Bolsters Food Security through Agricultural Innovation and Technology

Saudi Arabia has made significant progress in bolstering its food security over the past decade through initiatives to diversify and localize food sources and adopt agricultural technologies.

The Kingdom has employed modern techniques to enhance domestic food production, minimize water wastage, and increase efficiency in agriculture.

Saudi Arabia is addressing global food supply challenges through a $10 billion action plan by the Ministry of Environment and by reducing water usage for agriculture by over 40%.

Technological solutions like precision agriculture, hydroponics, aquaponics, and platforms connecting retailers with consumers are playing a key role.

Small and medium enterprises are essential for developing innovative solutions to transform the food system and drive economic growth in Saudi Arabia.
