UNS Vertical Farms, active in vertical farming in the UAE since 2018, introduces its new educational farm tours. The1-hour tours provide students, children, college groups, and community members a unique opportunity to explore vertical farming. By connecting people with the farm-to-table journey, UNS Farms hopes to inspire participants to make informed, sustainable food choices that positively impact their health and the environment.
The tour experience offers an inside look at UNS Farms' practices in vertical farming. It begins with an introduction to the Farms and its mission. Visitors then step into the growing chambers, where controlled environments enable plants to thrive with minimal resources, followed by an exploration of different crop sections featuring fresh microgreens, salads, and edible flowers.
They will learn about soil mixes and plant life cycles, observe the hydroponic systems that allow plants to grow without soil, and witness the meticulous harvesting and packaging process that ensures the best quality and reduces waste. The tour concludes with a special take-home grow kit, inspiring participants to start their own garden and deepen their connection to sustainable food practices.
