Enviro ChatIt is believed that the global population will exceed 9.8 billion by 2050, representing almost a 20% increase from the number of people sharing the planet today. Of course, an increase in population will necessitate a greater yield in food production, which can most effectively be achieved by optimising agricultural methods and implementing technological solutions.
Vertical farming is one su...

Enviro ChatGiven that children’s lungs are still developing and therefore more susceptible to contamination from air pollution, it makes sense to ensure that the indoor environments in which they spend the majority of their week is free from contaminants. As such, the indoor air quality (IAQ) in Emirati schools should be among the cleanest in the country.
Of course, this unfortunately has not always be...

Enviro ChatIf scientific projections are correct, the global population will reach 10 billion by 2050. That will necessitate a 56% shortfall in food production and a 593-million-hectare land deficit in comparison to 2010 if growth continues only on a “business as usual” trajectory.
Clearly, much work is needed to ensure that everyone on Earth has enough food to eat in the coming decades – and data can ...

Enviro ChatWhat Is Green Polypropylene?
Plastic has become such a commonplace component of our everyday lives that we barely notice its existence anymore, despite it being present in almost everything we use. For example, the bottle from which you drink water, the container in which your food is delivered and even the device upon which you’re reading this article likely contains elements of polypropyle...

Enviro ChatThe architects behind Masdar City in the UAE are seeking to create a blueprint for the city of the future. A key element of that plan is their work on net-zero buildings, three of which are currently under construction and one of which is set to open its doors later this year. But what is the secret to these visionary edifices of tomorrow?
In short, the UAE’s net-zero building philosophy rev...

Enviro ChatIn a country with a climate as arid and sweltering as that in the UAE, technology can provide a helping hand to the environment. In this vein, the Emirati government has been pouring significant time and resources into the sophisticated technique of cloud-seeding for years. In 2022, the country conducted over 300 flights across almost 1,000 hours.
The phenomenon of cloud-seeding involves inj...

What’s more, it is also hoping to eliminate methane emissions entirely by 2030.
The moves are in line with a wider strategy from th...
