The World Food Platform Western Asia Region
The World Food Platform Western Asia is a regional platform designed to address food system challenges in a region defined by arid climates, water scarcity, high import dependence, and geopolitical complexity. Western Asia includes some of the world's most food-import-reliant economies, alongside rapidly growing urban populations and ambitious national food security strategies. Read more
The region faces structural constraints on agricultural production due to limited arable land and water resources, while remaining highly exposed to global supply-chain shocks and price volatility. At the same time, Western Asia is investing heavily in agri-technology, controlled-environment farming, desalination-linked agriculture, alternative proteins, and strategic food reserves. The World Food Platform Western Asia brings these efforts together within a unified regional framework.
The Platform supports cooperation across food security planning, sustainable agriculture, logistics and storage, food safety, trade policy, and investment. It connects governments, sovereign entities, private sector leaders, innovators, and research institutions to enable knowledge exchange and coordinated action.
By linking regional priorities with global expertise, the World Food Platform Western Asia strengthens resilience, supports long-term food security strategies, and accelerates the transition toward sustainable, diversified, and future-ready food systems capable of withstanding environmental, economic, and geopolitical pressures.
