UAE's Big Plan: Slashing Food Waste by Half! Here's How...

The UAE is on a mission to cut food waste by a whopping 50% by 2030, and they've rolled out the 'Ne’ma Food Loss and Waste Reduction Roadmap' to make it happen. Imagine, one-third of all the food produced worldwide goes to waste - that's the problem they're tackling head-on.

Minister Mariam bint Mohammed Almheiri isn't playing around when she talks about transforming food systems for the long haul. This roadmap isn't just talk, it's action: raise awareness, amp up best practices, bring in new policies, and get tech-savvy, all to tackle this global food waste issue.

They're not stopping there. They've got game-changing plans like a Sustainable Catering Strategy, the 'Emirates Declaration on Resilient Food Systems,' and a Zero Food to Landfill initiative. Plus, big players like Jumeirah Group, Hilton Group, Rotana Group, and Expo City Dubai are all in, signing up to prioritize cutting food waste.

Urgency is the name of the game for Ahmed Taleb Al Shamsi, CEO of Emirates Foundation, who's rallying everyone to join forces and minimize waste for a stronger food system.

This isn't a one-man show; it's a team effort involving government, businesses, us regular folks, and organizations. The UAE's setting the stage for the world, showing how to tackle food waste and make a real dent in sustainable development.

Debunked: Is Gen Z Really Shaking Up the Alcohol Industry?

So, apparently, Gen Z is causing a ruckus in the alcohol world, but hold up - are they really changing the game that much? This IWSR study says they're all about abstaining and sipping on fancy cocktails, but let's dissect this.

Sure, some Gen Zers are waving goodbye to booze, but is it really a majority? Japan might be clocking in at 63% abstention, but what about the US and Canada, sitting at 54% and 44%, respectively? That's not exactly a landslide, is it? And honestly, who hasn't seen the occasional Gen Z-er with a beer in hand?

They say Gen Z is ditching old-school drinks for the fancy stuff, like ready-to-drink cocktails and exotic mixes. But let's not forget, every generation has its trends. Are they really making the liquor industry break a sweat over a few crafty sips?

Producers, apparently, need to do a total 180 to keep up. Premium this, non-alcoholic that - but come on, isn't that just capitalism doing its thing? They've always been churning out new products and catering to changing tastes. This isn't exactly breaking news.

Sure, Gen Z likes their social media and influencers, but who doesn't these days? Is it really a shocker that companies are using that to sell stuff? It's called marketing, folks, and it's been around forever.

So, is Gen Z really revolutionizing the booze biz? Maybe not as much as they think. Trends come and go, and in the grand scheme, this might just be another blip on the radar.
