National Digital Platform Established to Manage Livestock and Enhance Food Security

State Minister for Development and Sustainability, Dr. Reem Al-Faleh, and State Minister for Communications and Information Technology and Acting Minister of Information and Culture, Omar Al-Omar, announced the National Digital Platform for Livestock Resources today, Monday, as part of the state’s efforts to develop the livestock sector and enhance digital transformation in industries linked to food security.

In a statement to KUNA, Al-Faleh said the project represents an important national step toward building an integrated digital system for managing livestock resources in Kuwait, thereby strengthening food security, improving resource management efficiency, and entrenching principles of governance and sustainability.

She explained that the project is based on five main objectives: serving breeders, governing subsidies, enhancing livestock health, ensuring traceability and food safety, and supporting data-driven decision-making.

Al-Faleh emphasized that leveraging artificial intelligence and data analytics on the platform will enable a more accurate assessment of the livestock sector and its indicators, contribute to improving the efficiency of directing subsidies to eligible recipients, strengthen oversight and protect public funds, and provide reliable data that supports national planning and policies related to food security.

In this regard, Al-Faleh appreciated the cooperation and support provided by State Minister for Communications and Information Technology Omar Al-Omar and the Central Agency for Information Technology to the Public Authority for Agriculture and Fisheries Affairs in the digital transformation journey, affirming that this integration among government entities serves as a model for institutional partnership in implementing national digital projects.

For his part, Al-Omar said in a similar statement to KUNA that the project aligns with the state’s direction toward digital transformation and the integration of government services, emphasizing that the Central Agency for Information Technology will deploy its technical expertise to support the implementation of the platform and its integration with relevant government entities in accordance with approved national information security standards.

The announcement of the project comes within the framework of Kuwait’s efforts to strengthen the food security system, consolidate sustainability and governance in the management of national resources, and harness digital transformation to develop vital sectors and enhance the efficiency of government services.
