SustainableDe L’Arta is skincare from UAE desert plants

July 21, 202210 min

If the UAE’s desert plants can grow lush and brilliantly green without water, what could they do for skin? That’s what the team behind the UAE-born, all-natural and organic skincare line De L’Arta wondered. The co-founders – engineer Saeed AlKhoori, soil scientist Lina Yousef and her sister, Sarah, who works on the marketing side – launched the company last year with their first products made from the Tetreana qatarensis plant, aka Tq. A plant that’s...

SustainableTalking Ag-Tech with KRISPR founder Khadija Hasan

July 13, 2022122 min

Ag-Tech – short for “agriculture technology” is not only a buzzword but a necessity these days, and the UAE has embraced the indoor farming trend in a big way for years now: a necessary move anywhere, but particularly forward-thinking for a nation that imports the vast majority of its food, amid a global setting of food insecurity, supply chain shortages and price hikes. Khadija Hasan is the founder and chief executive of KRISPR, a UAE...

Sustainable6 ways the Middle East is embracing the electric vehicle

June 23, 202212 min

Electric vehicle production and purchasing are surging worldwide, and this isn’t slowing down anytime soon. The Middle East’s more affluent GCC countries are bringing the region closer to Western market trends. In the UAE, which is the second Middle Eastern nation to host the United Nations Climate Change Conference, also known as COP 28, in 2023, the number of electric cars in Dubai alone increased by over 7,000 percent from 2015 to 2022. Rising petrol...

Food SustainableHow the UAE’s indoor farming sector is exploding

May 23, 202228 min

On December 14, 2019, the UAE celebrated what appeared to be a remarkable achievement. In just one year it had climbed 10 places on the Global Food Security Index, ranking 21st out of 113 countries and apparently on course to fulfil its extraordinary ambition of achieving a top-10 position by 2021. At the time, Mariam Hareb Almheiri, Minister of State for Food Security, said the jump reflected the government’s determination “to transform the UAE into...

SustainableSave money, save the planet

May 13, 202210 min

Have you ever heard the expression “live simply, so others may simply live”? For the stereotypical UAE resident, that idea may be quite far from the reality of their luxury lifestyle. However, as we learn through almost daily apocalyptic headlines about the impact of climate change, if we don’t change the way we live to be more environmentally friendly, we might not have any chance of living at all in a few decades. Fortunately, living...

Health Mental Health SustainableWhy obesity and debt go hand-in-hand

May 5, 2022117 min

I was sitting down with the other board members of a local personal finance group, SimplyFI when I first noticed it: they were all thin. Health and body weight had been weighing heavily on my mind, and when I looked around at the other financially astute members, this was the striking commonality.

Community SustainableWe need an agtech boom to secure global food supplies

May 4, 202212 min

By the looks of it, the global food supply chain hinges on just one country. Like other outdated systems of production currently breaking down as a result of years of pandemic and geopolitical recalibration, the way we produce and distribute food needs radical change. The centrality of Ukrainian wheat production is one particularly extreme demonstration of the weak links in the food system. Ukraine, Russia, and Belarus are major food producers that are facing a...
