Innovations like solar-powered greenhouses, vertical farming, and hydroponics empower UAE startups to grow fruits, vegetables, and herbs year-round—efficiently using water and overcoming desert environmental challenges.
Pure Harvest’s climate-controlled greenhouses, using hydroponics and AI, grow over 30 tomato varieties and leafy greens using seven times less water—all year-round in harsh desert conditions.
Startups like Badia Farms, Madar Farms, and FodderTech use vertical towers or repurposed containers to optimize space, reduce water use up to 95%, and ensure sustainable food production.
The UAE’s supportive ecosystem—with $100M+ AgriTech fund, innovation hubs, ADIO incentives, and global partnerships—accelerates agritech advancements and scales sustainable solutions across the region.
