The Bahraini government has approved a strategic plan to promote development in agricultural and livestock production and secure its sources, by taking advantage of modern technologies in the implementation of various vital pioneering projects, in line with Vision 2030, and achieving its sustainable development goals.
Bahrain's strategy focuses on boosting local production and reducing dependence on food imports, and one of its most important axes is to enhance local production and reduce dependence on food imports. The challenges to achieving food security through agriculture locally are the country's desert environment, groundwater depletion, and urban sprawl. The Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Ministry of Municipalities Affairs and Agriculture are working together to support the agriculture and fisheries sectors, which are key elements in the development of long-term food security in the country.
