Iran signs into law document to guarantee food security by 2032
Iran has adopted a plan to guarantee food security in the country by 2032 amid efforts to facilitate access of vulnerable and low-income people to food and water supplies.
The 10-Year Comprehensive Document on Food and Nutrition Security was signed into law during a Thursday session of Iran’s High Council of Health and Food Security chaired by President Ebrahim Raeisi.
The document sets out targets for reaching full food security in Iran by the calendar year 1411 (2032). It covers plans included in seven other documents and adresses major issues like access to food supplies, safety and quality of food, consumption practices and drinking water, among others.
A report by the official IRNA news agency said that the document will mostly focus on vulnerable and lower-income families in Iran.
It said progress on the implementation of the plan will be reported to the government every six months.
Raeisi said after signing off on the document that it will ensure a fair access of all Iranian citizens to sufficient and healthy food as well as to a clean environment.
He said any disruption to secure food supplies in Iran could negatively affect the economic, cultural and social security in the country.
