The Chairman of the Northern Municipal Council, Dr. Sayed Shubber Ebrahim Al Wedai, described the recognition of four Bahraini villages in the Northern Governorate under an initiative by the Director General of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations as a proud and meaningful moment for the Kingdom’s agricultural journey.
Dr. Al Wedai said the honour is more than a formal accolade.
“It reflects the quiet, consistent work of our farmers who have protected the land and kept agriculture alive despite challenges,” he noted, linking the achievement to Bahrain’s wider sustainable development goals.
Farmers
He stressed that the Bahraini farmer has always carried a deep sense of responsibility towards the land, working to revive farmland and preserve green spaces.
That dedication, he said, has turned farms into an essential pillar supporting national food security.
In recent years, he added, support for farmers has become more structured, with efforts focused on securing suitable agricultural land and providing natural fertilisers to improve productivity through sustainable methods.
Pride
Dr. Al Wedai praised the creativity and initiative shown by local farmers, saying the global recognition received during the FAO conference in Rome should serve as motivation to continue innovating.
With continued backing from the Ministry of Municipalities Affairs and Agriculture, he expressed confidence that Bahrain’s agricultural sector will see further growth, helping strengthen food reserves and advance the national development vision.
