Dubai is a city that wants to be a leader in all areas. That is why today it is developing methods so that it can soon triple food production.
To achieve this goal, the Ministry of Food and Water Supply of the city cooperate.
All this because the leadership soon wants to be a ‘smart’ city, independent in terms of food supply but also self-sufficient. At the same time, however, it wants to maintain the viability of its resources.
To this end, farms will be developed for crop production, food factories, agricultural technology, research laboratories and food innovation will be promoted. Advanced ‘smart’ warehouses will also be created and efficient transportation methods will be developed. There will be no shortage of automation, robots and artificial intelligence. All this to achieve a reduction in food loss and rejection.
Artificial intelligence will monitor, analyze and manage production. And it will still see the impact on the environment and then on climate change. It will supervise both the quality of the products and the efficiency of the production.
Storage will be implemented by ‘smart’ and automated methods.
The facilities will be located close to universities and academic institutes for direct communication and efficient transmission of information.
One advantage is that products will be produced all year round so that there is no dependence on weather and climate.
The project is so ambitious that it will certainly attract foreign and large investments.
