Dubai, UAE, 13 November 2024 – UNS Vertical Farms, part of Speedex Group and a leader in UAE vertical farming, has introduced educational farm tours aimed at raising awareness about sustainable food practices. These 1-hour tours invite students, families, and community groups to explore local vertical farming and learn how it supports food security and environmental health.
The tours offer a close-up look at UNS’s eco-friendly growing methods, including hydroponics and crop cycles for microgreens, salads, and edible flowers. Participants gain insight into reducing carbon emissions and conserving resources by choosing local produce. Each tour ends with a take-home grow kit to encourage sustainable gardening at home.
“Connecting people with the source of their food can inspire healthier, environmentally responsible choices,” said Mehlam Murtaza, Executive Director at UNS Farms. This aligns with the UAE’s vision for food security and sustainability, furthering UNS Farms’ mission since 2018 to provide high-quality, locally grown produce to Dubai’s community.
