Solar Hydroponic Net House

Ajman University Paves the Way for Sustainable Agriculture in the UAE

Ajman University's groundbreaking collaboration with the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) has resulted in the establishment of a Solar-Powered Hydroponic Net House. This innovative project aligns with the UAE's ambitious vision to transform its agricultural sector, as highlighted during the COP28 climate summit in Dubai.

The Net House utilizes solar energy and advanced hydroponic irrigation techniques to promote sustainable farming and food security. By harnessing the power of the sun and optimizing water usage, this project offers a low-cost, efficient solution for local farmers to enhance crop productivity during dry months. Moreover, the Net House serves as a valuable community engagement platform, providing opportunities for volunteers to participate in sustainable agricultural practices.

Key features of the Solar-Powered Hydroponic Net House include:

  • Solar Panels: Providing clean, renewable energy to power the irrigation system and other equipment.
  • Smart Irrigation Systems: Optimizing water usage to minimize waste and ensure efficient nutrient delivery.

Beyond its practical applications, the Net House also serves as a hub for research and innovation. By focusing on drought-resistant crops and sustainable agriculture practices, the project aims to contribute to the development of solutions that can address the challenges posed by climate change and resource scarcity.

Ajman University's commitment to technological innovation and sustainable development is evident in this project. The Net House not only introduces the community to cutting-edge sustainable living practices but also serves as a valuable educational resource for students and visitors. By addressing Sustainable Development Goal 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), Ajman University is helping to shape a more prosperous and sustainable future for the UAE and beyond.
