The summit seeks to attract a range of experts and decision-makers to discuss innovative solutions for strengthening the global food security system.

The Global or World Food Security Summit will address national, regional, and international issues, providing a platform to exchange best practices and innovations in the food security sector.
The first edition of the World Food Security Summit will be incorporated into ADAFSW activities. This coincides with the third edition of ADIFE 2024 and the tenth edition of ADDPE 2024.

The UAE reaffirmed its commitment to bolstering food security during the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP 28).
The COP 28 declaration in the UAE regarding sustainable agriculture, resilient food systems, and climate action represents a landmark achievement in global efforts to encourage nations to prioritise the right to adequate food within their national food security strategies.
This ensures everyone has access to safe, sufficient, and nutritious food at affordable prices.
