We Plant for Sustainability Initiative
The General Women's Union launched the "We Plant for Sustainability" project in collaboration with its strategic partners from federal and local government entities, as well as private sector institutions.
The "We Plant for Sustainability" project aims to empower Emirati women in the agricultural sector through training programs focused on sustainable agriculture, supporting women-led agricultural projects, and enhancing local production in alignment with food security strategies. The project targets training 3,500 women over five years, supporting 140 women-led agricultural projects, and increasing agricultural production by 20%. It emphasizes hydroponic and organic farming and includes programs to develop skills, market women’s agricultural products, and promote agricultural entrepreneurship, thereby supporting sustainable agriculture and women's empowerment.
