The first in the world, a farm for growing food in the desert in the UAE Bashny.Net

The world's first research center that will simultaneously grow food and produce fuel, using desert land, irrigated with sea water, began its work in the area of 2 hectares near Abu Dhabi (UAE).




The project is organized in the framework of the scientific program of the Masdar Institute and its funding meets the Consortium for the study of sustainable bioenergy (SBRC), the main activity of which is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by air transport through the development of alternative fuels.

The main objective of the project is to develop innovative technologies to address food issues through the development of aquaculture, and environmental problems of the aviation industry. For example, "the desert" the farm will grow fish and shellfish, which are an extremely important resource for many countries seeking to enhance their domestic food security. But industrial fish farms produce waste that is often thrown into the ocean.





These waste waters are incredibly rich in nutrients that cause harmful ocean algal blooms, and release the result of their activity, the toxins can harm both people and animal inhabitants.





Research consortium SBRS proposes to use this by-product for growing galiyevich farms.

The halophytes are plants that can tolerate high levels of soil salinity.

For the majority of this natural habitat area is desert, and is suitable for irrigation of ordinary sea water. In the most difficult natural conditions, halophytes show high rates of biomass growth. Thus, its industrial use is a good prospect for the aviation industry. published
