The realities of climate change impacts in the region now and in the future bring a sense of urgency to investing in the innovation and adoption of new technology and practices that reduce water usage and improve food sovereignty.

In this episode Henry Gordon-Smith, founder and CEO of Agritecture, goes into detail on his experiences, ideas, and data that raise both concern and hope with regards to trends, risks, and opportunities for urban agriculture in the MENA region.
