The agricultural sector in UAE has been improving by incorporating several new technologies and equipment in farming, fishing and poultry sectors, to name a few. The UAE environment is often considered deserted, which limits the flourishing growth of the agricultural sector. Nonetheless, the government has improved the conditions by introducing effective and unique techniques such as hydroponics, organic agriculture, and aquaponics.
Hydroponics – Hydroponics seeks to improve farming conditions in the country by providing farmers with nutrient-rich water for farming and gardening purposes with limiting the usage of soil during the process.
Organic agriculture – The government has developed the organic food certification scheme that increases awareness among individuals about organic farming and products that are a result of organic agriculture.
Aquaponics – The process of aquaponics is a conventional way of combining aquaculture and hydroponics wherein aquatic animals are raised along with the cultivation of plants within the same water.
There are various farming areas and locations around the region; mainly Diqdaqah in Ras Al Khaimah, Wadi adh Dhayd in Sharjah, Al Awir in Dubai, Falaj al Mualla in Umm Al Quwain and the coastal areas of Fujairah, to name a few.
