Last Tuesday, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Jordan, and the Netherlands met online to discuss solutions to improve food, water, and energy security in the Middle East. The three nations are working together to research sustainable agriculture techniques and improve food production. Working groups plan to learn from the experience of the Netherlands, a small nation that transcended space shortages to become one of the largest exporters of agricultural products. "We can't do this alone, we have come together, put our minds together to find solutions," said UAE's Minister of Climate Change and Environment. "We need to transform to more sustainable food systems ... We want to show our audience and other partners that it is important to share knowledge."
