Assuring food safety from animal resources throughout the food chain and the welfare of animal is a vital priority. The authorization of ADFCA to control the agricultural practices provides the organization with the power to have access to farms. This will enable ADFCA to deploy the approach “From Farm to Fork”.

The legal empowerment granted to ADFCA comes in consistence with Abu Dhabi government political agenda. This is to achieve the strategic outcomes of assuring food safety, security and an ecologically sustainable development of the agricultural industry in the Emirate. This will have significant impact on realizing the goals of the organizations’ service delivery, such as ensured access to affordable and sufficient safe food and an effective contribution to biosecurity and animal health.

The objective of this code is to provide set of principles that, if applied, can result in a good level of management of animal health and welfare. Standards issued officially are considered.
