The United Arab Emirates has taken a historic step in agricultural innovation, becoming the first country in the world where a government authority has earned the prestigious ISO 42001:2023 certification for Artificial Intelligence (AI) Management Systems in agriculture.

This global milestone was achieved by the Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority (ADAFSA) — positioning the UAE as a trailblazer in adopting responsible and advanced AI frameworks across critical sectors like food security and sustainable farming.
