Pure Harvest Smart Farms of the UAE and PlanTFarm of South Korea have officially opened a freshly redeveloped high-tech farming facility in Al Ain, UAE. This cutting-edge farm uses AI-powered technology to improve controlled environment agriculture, resulting in more sustainable and efficient food production.
One of the farm’s most significant inventions is a trial project for animal fodder production that consumes 95% less water than traditional agricultural techniques. The effort seeks to minimise the Gulf region’s dependency on imported feed while also providing a cost-effective and sustainable option for local farmers. If the experiment is successful, Pure Harvest intends to expand it throughout the region.
The facility also uses hybrid farming technology, which allows for the year-round cultivation of superior Korean strawberries and leafy greens. Korean strawberries, which are traditionally cultivated in frigid climes, may now be produced in the UAE because of this unique approach, ensuring a consistent supply of fresh, locally grown product.
At the February 20th inauguration ceremony, Pure Harvest CEO Sky Kurtz expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, emphasising the farm’s importance in increasing food security, sustainability, and resource efficiency.
