Gulfood showcases 100,000 new products and innovations from over 125 countries

There is an urgent need to prioritize sustainable agricultural production, distribution, and global food security as land, energy, and water become more and more rare. The region’s largest food and beverage expo, Gulfood, is a fantastic venue for the industry to display its dedication to the environment and engage in a discussion about a prosperous future.

According to Mark Napier, VP — Exhibitions, Dubai World Trade Centre, “the theme of sustainability runs through multiple components of the event, including the Gulfood Inspire Conference, first-time green Michelin star global chefs at Top Table, and Gulfood Green, our new initiative to create an omnipresent sustainable food and beverage platform.” The occasion highlights the UAE’s position as a leader in the sector’s essential concerns and at the forefront of industry development.

The Gulfood event has a long history of being a reputable one that is important to the development of Dubai’s economy. Around $10 billion (Dh36.7 billion) in trade transactions were signed during the Gulfood 2022 event, reiterating Dubai’s status as a major F&B hub throughout the world.

The UAE is a pioneer of this shift, having seen, for instance, an increase in the availability of locally grown and plant-based options and the implementation of zero waste standards, says Napier, adding that “Gulfood is without a doubt going to serve as a critical opportunity to convene the global F&B industry in the first quarter of the year, and continue the shift towards more sustainable food production and consumption.”

A novel sustainability effort called Gulfood Green was started to encourage a move toward more resilient and sustainable food production and consumption.

“As part of Gulfood Green, we also started our very own Gulfood Forest, a global tree-planting program to preserve, repair, and grow trees all over the world to help slow down climate change. The Gulfood Forest will allow event participants, including exhibitors, visitors, and the general public, to get engaged and plant trees to help restore world forests, according to Napier. The food business is known to be a significant source of carbon emissions. This year will also see the Gulfood Green Awards, which honor achievement in sustainability and promote green best practices throughout the F&B business.
