Following on HH Sheikh Mohammed’s assertion that 2017 is the year of giving, he has announced the UAE food bank today. He choose to announce this on the 4th of January, accession day. The Food Bank is essentially an ‘ecosystem improving the efficiency of food storage, packaging and distribution. It will partner with food producers such as hotels, restaurants and supermarkets and farms to store and package excess fresh food effectively’. That should go some way to putting an end to all the waste we see so often and large events and brunches in Dubai.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n“the Year of Giving provides a golden opportunity for UAE citizens and institutions to maximize their philanthropic potential by launching humanitarian initiatives. We chose \u201cfood\u201d as\u00a0our first initiative as it is one of the most basic human needs. Through the UAE Food Bank, we aim to instill the value of giving deep in the hearts of our people.\u201d<\/p>\n
