Ammon News - Prime Minister Bishr Khasawneh on Monday patronized a ceremony to launch the 2021-2030 National Food Security Strategy and its 2022-2024 executive plan.

The strategy was drawn up under the directives of His Majesty King Abdullah II to designate 2021 as the year of food security and turn Jordan into a food security regional hub.

During the ceremony, which was attended by a number of ministers, officials, representatives of regional and international organizations, and heads of diplomatic missions, the Prime Minister stated that the Kingdom's food security measures have moved it up from 62 in 2020 to 49 in 2021 on the Global Food Security Index.

Khasawneh cited the ongoing crises, such as refugee waves, the coronavirus pandemic, climate change, and the Russian-Ukrainian war, as the reason for the launch of the strategy, indicating that these crises have made countries vulnerable to food insecurity and exacerbated their economic, social, and environmental challenges.
