Program Description

This program aims to decarbonise agricultural activities in Ras Al Khaimah through mandates for fertilizers, livestock consumables, and promotion of regenerative agricultural practices.

Emissions reduction in agriculture are expected from three drivers:

There is a gross lack of information about the agricultural sector, including basic information such as number of active farms, total land under cultivation, fertilizer usage, mechanization, crops grown, etc. A broader agricultural strategy for the emirate, along with a regulatory structure for the sector is necessary to meaningfully gather such information, before emissions interventions can be designed and deployed.
