Halal industry supports global efforts for food security

THE halal industry plays an important role not only in meeting religious requirements and contributing to national economic growth but also in supporting global efforts to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2 – Zero Hunger.

Halal, meaning “permissible”, refers to food allowed for consumption by Muslims in accordance with Islamic law. While it may not directly address hunger, the halal concept is integral to achieving the objectives of food integrity and safety.
