"By tackling the pressing issue of food loss and waste, HeroGo aligns with the UAE's goal to cut this waste by half by 2030, thereby retaining over AED6 billion of economic value. Our strategy emphasizes rescuing and repurposing food, which would otherwise contribute to waste. Utilizing our innovative technology platform, we forge vital connections between farmers, importers, and consumers, effectively reducing waste, and enhancing food security in a region dependent on imported food. This process also aids in capturing carbon and conserving water resources. Plus, our efforts extend beyond environmental sustainability; they also strengthen national food security and resilience, setting a foundation for a more sustainable and prosperous future in the UAE."
