Rethinking Vertical Farming: What’s Truly Impactful in the Desert?
- Vertical farming has struggled to prove commercial viability in the US; what unique advantages does the UAE offer to support its success – particularly for high-value crops beyond lettuce and herbs?
- How should ROI be redefined to account for nutrient density, water use, energy efficiency and supply chain resilience – not just yield or price per kilo?
- How can leading farms in the region move from bespoke, high cost builds to scalable, standardised systems and position the UAE as a global hub for indoor farming expertise?
- What challenges remain, even for the most advanced players? How are innovators improving performance through tailored seed varieties, climate control technologies, energy recovery and dehumidification?
