Qatar adopts strategic plan to reduce food waste: Official

Doha: A ministerial decision has been issued making it mandatory for all entities to sort out their wastes into organic and solid, an official of the Ministry of Municipality and Environment (MME) has said. 

“The sorting out of wastes from source will help us to know the quantity of wastage and track the reason for wasting organic products (food items),” said Director of MME's Food Security Department, Dr. Masoud Jarallah Al Marri. “This will enable us to know the motive behind wasting foods which is unacceptable behaviour and needs to be changed," he said, while speaking at a recent event organised by the Ministry.
