Saudi Arabia and the Netherlands are teaming up to grow food in the desert using cutting-edge technology.
los $120 million project will involve the construction of two test facilities on the outskirts of Neom, Se construye una nueva ciudad de alta tecnología en el desierto..
The goal is to eventually produce over 300,000 toneladas de frutas y verduras al año, which would help to reduce Saudi Arabia’s reliance on food imports.
The project is using a variety of technologies, incluido artificial intelligence-driven crop growing and advanced water filtration systems.
Dutch Company Van Der Hoeven to Lead Project
The Dutch company Van Der Hoeven is leading the project.
The company has a long history of developing innovative greenhouse technologies, and it is seen as a world leader in desert agriculture.
Van Der Hoeven has been involved in a number of high-profile projects, including the development of greenhouses in the Sahara Desert and the Mojave Desert.
The company has also developed a number of cutting-edge technologies, such as aeroponics systems and solar-powered greenhouses.
The company’s expertise in desert agriculture will be essential to the success of the project in Neom.
The desert climate is a challenging environment for growing food, but Van Der Hoeven has the experience and the technology to overcome these challenges.
The project is still in the early stages, but it has the potential to be a major breakthrough in desert agriculture. If successful, it could be a model for other countries that are looking to grow food in arid conditions.
Here are some additional details about the project:
- The two test facilities will be located on an area of land the size of 15 soccer fields.
- The greenhouses will be powered by solar energy and will use water-efficient irrigation systems.
- The project is expected to create thousands of jobs in the region.
- The project is part of Saudi Arabia’s efforts to diversify its economy and reduce its reliance on oil.

A Mega-City of The Future in the Saudi Arabia Desert
Neom is a vast new development project in Saudi Arabia that has been dubbed the “most ambitious city in the world.”
The project is being spearheaded by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who sees it as a way to diversify the country’s economy and create a new hub for innovation and technology.
Neom is located in the northwest corner of Saudi Arabia, on the Red Sea coast.
The project covers an area of 26,500 kilómetros cuadrados, which is about the size of Belgium. The city will be divided into 10 “regions,” each with its own unique focus.
One of the most talked-about aspects of Neom is La línea, a 170-kilometer-long linear city that will be home to nine million people. The Line is designed to be a car-free city with all essential services within walking distance. The city will also be powered entirely by renewable energy.
Other planned projects in Neom include a port city, a ski resort, and an island resort. The developers of Neom have also said that they are open to other ideas and proposals.
The greenhouses in Neom will use aeroponics systems, which grow plants without soil. This system is more efficient than traditional farming methods and can produce more crops in a smaller space.
The plants will be suspended in the air and misted with a nutrient solution. This allows the plants to absorb the nutrients they need directly, without the need for soil.
The Neom project has been met with both excitement and skepticism. Some people believe that it has the potential to be a major economic driver for Saudi Arabia and a model for sustainable development.
Others are concerned about the environmental impact of the project and the human rights implications of the forced evictions that have taken place in the area.
The human rights group Reprieve has called Neom a “city built on forcible evictions, state violence and death sentences.”
The group has documented the cases of several people who have been arrested and sentenced to death for protesting the forced evictions.
In one case, a man was sentenced to death for “terrorism” after he was found guilty of resisting the demolition of his home.
Neom is not the only megaproject that aims at building a new smart high-tech futuristic city in the desert.
En los Estados Unidos, there is a similar project called Telos, a sustainable high-tech city to be built in the Southwest US desert, which is being developed by American billionaire Marc Lore.
