The forthcoming Emirates Agriculture Conference and Exhibition 2025, set to be held from May 28 to 31 at the ADNEC Centre in Al Ain, is poised to be a landmark event for the UAE’s agricultural landscape. Organised under the auspices of His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the gathering aims to empower Emirati farmers while advancing sustainable agricultural practices—a pressing necessity in an era marked by climate change and food insecurity.
As highlighted by Her Excellency Dr. Amna bint Abdullah Al Dahak, Minister of Climate Change and Environment, this conference acts as a strategic platform to strengthen the UAE’s food security ecosystem. Through dedicated workshops, discussions, and exhibitions, the event will not only showcase innovative agricultural technologies but will also emphasise the importance of sustainable practices vital for local production. The comprehensive programme will feature 75 prominent speakers and over 35 panel discussions focusing on topics such as international collaboration, legislative frameworks, and entrepreneurship in agriculture.
Dr. Al Dahak noted, “Emirati farmers are at the heart of this event. We are committed to empowering our farmers through strategic partnerships, knowledge sharing, and platforms to showcase their products and expertise.” This investment in local farmers aligns with broader national ambitions to create a self-sufficient agricultural infrastructure that can meet both domestic and global demands.
A particularly noteworthy initiative announced is the launch of the National Agriculture Museum, designed to chronicle the evolution of agriculture in the UAE from traditional methods to innovative technologies. Opening alongside the conference, this institution aims to provide a rich educational resource, engaging visitors of all ages with interactive exhibits that illustrate the significant advancements in the industry. Dr. Al Dahak remarked, “This Museum will become a source of inspiration for future generations and a platform through which the community can deepen its understanding of the UAE’s rich agricultural heritage.”
The emphasis on youth engagement is another pivotal aspect of the conference. The establishment of the Emirates Youth Council for Agriculture will enable a new generation to participate actively in shaping agricultural policies and practices. This is part of a broader strategy to integrate youth into the sector, recognising them as key players in the future of Emirati agriculture. “The youth are the backbone of our society and will be instrumental in forging a bright future for our nation,” Dr. Al Dahak stated, urging community participation in this national dialogue.
The exhibition itself, sprawling over 20,000 square metres, is expected to accommodate up to 11,000 attendees, thus fostering interaction among stakeholders from diverse backgrounds, including governmental bodies, private enterprises, and educational institutions. Notable sponsors like Silal and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations underscore the event’s importance, reflecting a commitment to international collaboration in addressing agricultural challenges.
The conference programme aims for inclusivity, with workshops tailored for both seasoned farmers and community members. These sessions will cover a myriad of subjects, including modern farming techniques such as vertical farming and smart agriculture, which are essential to optimise resource use and mitigate environmental impacts.
In consolidating its goals under the ‘Plant the Emirates’ National Programme, the conference embodies the vision of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, promoting green practices and sustainable food production. With its ambitious agenda, this event aspires to not only enhance local agricultural capacities but also serve as a model for nations grappling with similar challenges in food security.
Her Excellency’s invitation extends to all community members to engage with this pivotal moment for Emirati agriculture, reinforcing the notion that “meaningful change starts with the community.” As the Emirates Agriculture Conference and Exhibition 2025 approaches, it promises to be a catalyst for growth, innovation, and sustainability in the agricultural sector, ensuring that the UAE remains at the forefront of global food security efforts.
