Chairman’s Letter

Welcome to Bahrain Food Monitor, a magazine that provides up-to-date information on food security and sustainability, logistic and value chains as well as consumption management. We are a magazine driven by MENA Centre for Investment, a non-profit organization that works with Bahrain and other GCC countries in tackling many issues with food security being one of the most important.

The purpose of Bahrain Food Monitor is to bring all stakeholders of food security together and present meaningful dialogues that would benefit the people and businesses that form the regional food security chain. With a broad regional focus, we will discuss the steps necessary to improve food security, address the lack of resources in the sector and push for food security policies that are practical and responsive to reduce wasteful food in the region.

We are mandated to provide connection among experts and decision makers in order to meet these challenges head on. That’s why we’re honoured to announce the launch of Bahrain Food Monitor, a magazine to tackle food insecurity in the region. More information can be found on bahrainfoodmonitor.org.

We recognize that no single individual or entity can adequately tackle the challenge of food security. The complexity of the issue requires a coordinated effort of public, private and civil society partners, coming together with a shared commitment to a brighter future in food security and sustainability.

We invite you to join us in our efforts to make this initiative a success, and are committed to serving as a platform for promoting the advancement of food security and sustainability in Bahrain through innovation and development. We hope to expand into the GCC. Sincerely,

Dr. Zakaria Ahmed Hejres
