Sheikh Nahyan noted that lack of enough food resources threaten national and economic security of states as well as global environmental security.
“Hunger threatens the stability of governments, breaks societies and also endanger border security,” he further said.

The trophy, which embodies the culture and history of the country, was designed by an Emirati student with desert sand from the country’s seven emirates. Geldof joins a distinguished list of previous recipients of the Al Saqar Trophy, who include Dr APJ Kalam, the Former President of India, King Gustaf of Sweden and Gordon Brown, former Prime Minister of the UK.
