Dr. Fadel ELZUBI, food security expert at the Geneva Center for Studies and Research, issued an integrated preventive policy brief to mitigate the risks of cholera in accordance with international references.

With confirmed cases of cholera reported in a neighboring country, a state of national alert and vigilance has emerged, necessitating the adoption of a comprehensive, multi level preventive strategy grounded in international guidelines. This is not limited to an emergency health reaction, but rather requires a coordinated institutional intervention that spans the sectors of health, agriculture, trade, water, and media. The potential threat of cross border transmission of the cholera bacterium—whether through travelers or contaminated food products—demands the establishment of a protective barrier based on science, effective monitoring, and informed public awareness, as recommended in international references.

Dr. Fadel ELZUBI to Sawt Al-Shaab newspaper: “The Kingdom’s food system is facing clear vulnerability in the face of climate change.”

agricultural production regulation is the backbone of transforming climate challenges into opportunities, linking water efficiency with food security stability, reducing losses, and stimulating research and innovation. Through this approach, Jordan’s food system can become a regional model of climate resilience and an effective tool for mitigating the impacts of climate change while enhancing the Kingdom’s position in regional and international markets.
