About 90% of the land in southern China is covered with mountains, which lack vegetative cover, leading to soil erosion and frequent landslides. Each year tons of topsoil and valuable nutrients are lost and such areas have become unfit for agriculture. This problem has bothered the Chinese Government for years, but with the introduction of two ICRISAT crops, pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] and groundnut, (aka peanuts) [Arachis hypogaea (L.)], new signs of prosperity from agricultural lands are greatly evident in China.

Why dry areas should invest masively in innovation to ensure food securityCGIAR
For dry areas the core problem is that growing food requires much more water than all other uses combined, that is to say, in dry areas there just isn't enough water to grow food. The complex challenges facing dry areas cannot be solved with one silver bullet, but will require an
integrated approach involving sustainable natural resource management, crop and livestock genetic
improvement as well as socio-economic innovation.
Keynote speech made by Dr Frank Rijsberman at the Opening Ceremony of the Global Forum for Innovations in Agriculture, Abu Dhabi, February 3, 2014.
Aeroponic Based Controlled Environment Based Farming Systemiosrjce
Controlled Environment Farming is one of the emerging technologies in the farming and agriculture
industries nowadays. Aeroponics is an optimized process developed for growing crops and plants in an air
medium without the use of soil or an aggregate medium by spraying the plant’s roots with an atomized or
sprayed, nutrient-rich water solution. Various automated farming system has been developed using sensor
networks and control systems to improve agricultural produc-tivity. Traditional farming techniques are complex
and strictly influenced by soil conditions, climate, weather, crop types, and so on. Authors have proposed a
system in which an environment monitoring, quality evaluation and crop growth, data recording, and online
data submitting and multiplatform compatibility were integrated. The control system based on agricultural
information measured by field monitoring sensors is a proved effective method to improve quality of
agricultural product in a greenhouse.
In this study, we proposed an intelligent control system for an aeroponics-based greenhouse, which
consists of data collec-tion/monitoring system, control system, centralized sever, and multiplatform web-based
controlling/monitoring application for agricultural facilities. The prototype system for establishing a low-cost
aeroponics-based greenhouse control system can be designed based on an open-source development board
called Raspberry Pi. The system can be used both locally and over the Internet, which has a large set of
controlling and monitoring function for the greenhouse. The system is proposed to achieve maximum
optimization, control, quality, automation, etc. in an aeroponics-based greenhouse.
T9: ICBA’s Experience and Partnership, By Shoaib Ismail, ICBA ,UAE, Land and Water Days in Near East & North Africa, 15-18 December 2013, Amman, Jordan
Soil-based agriculture is now facing major challenges due to urbanization, industrialization and environmental degradation etc. Among different problems, the most important one is the decline in per capita land availability. With 6 billion people on earth, the per capita land availability is currently 0.25 hectares and by 2050 it will be 0.16 hectares. Climate change along with urbanization and industrialization magnifies this negative Impact. To counteract these threats, hydroponics has emerged as a viable option which is currently gaining popularity around the world due to its efficient resource management. Hydroponic farms offer a viable solution towards a more sustainable food production while avoiding hazardous chemicals due to controlled environments and strict certification laws. Far from being a dream, hydroponic farming is already integrated into sustainable agriculture in order to meet rising global food demand.

Hydroponics can save world's fresh water stock: says Pegasus Agritech
1. For Immediate Release
Pegasus Agritech to boost world’s fresh water supply through
hydroponics
Dubai, UAE:14th
May 2014 – Pegasus Agritech, one of the largest operators of
hydroponic farming facilities in the Middle East and Northern Africa,
believes making greater use of hydroponics can prevent future water wars.
Defined as the science of growing plants without soil, hydroponics can
greatly reduce the amount of water needed for agriculture, making more
fresh water available for other purposes.
Growing plants using Hydroponics requires 60-90% less water than
traditional farming methods, freeing up massive fresh water supplies for
drinking water and industrial uses. Almost any plant can be grown using
hydroponics, and since pesticides aren't needed, the food is of high quality.
Currently, conventional agriculture consumes 70% of the world's fresh
water and more than half goes toward growing forage for animals. When
plants are grown in soil, they expend a great deal of energy to grow roots
that reach out to find water and nutrients. Less water and space are
needed using hydroponics, because nutrients are delivered directly to
plants' roots.
If agriculture continues to absorb most of the world's fresh water, not only
will it not be available to humans, but the habitats of uncountable species -
on land and in the sea - will suffer greatly.
Conventional farming in infertile regions is even worse because huge
amounts of water are lost to evaporation and over-absorption by soil,
which makes farming unproductive over time. We must find a way to
supply fresh water to a growing world population, adding about 80 million
people a year.
2. About the company
Pegasus Agri-tech, headquarted in Dubai is the largest owner and operator
of hydroponic farming facilities and food investments in the Middle East
and Northern Africa (MENA). Pegasus Agri-tech continues to lead the
