In Saudi Arabia, agriculture is under constant stress due to extreme heat. During the day, temperatures can soar to 52 degrees Celsius, while at night, they only drop to around 33 degrees Celsius. These harsh conditions make traditional farming difficult, as crops like cucumbers become bitter, tomato flowers wither, and pests such as whiteflies and red spiders thrive. To combat these challenges, farmers often need to use tens of thousands of liters of water each day to save a small portion of their crops. However, even with this effort, most farmers abandon their fields during the summer months when the heat becomes too intense. Date palms are an exception, as they are more resilient to the extreme climate. But for other crops, the situation is dire. The high temperatures and lack of natural rainfall make it nearly impossible to maintain traditional farming practices. This has led to a decline in agricultural productivity and forced many farmers to seek alternative methods to continue growing food. In contrast, a facility called Dava, located just one hour south of Riyadh, is proving that agriculture can thrive even in such harsh conditions. Dava uses climate-controlled greenhouses that allow for the cultivation of vegetables without the need for soil. This technology helps regulate temperature and humidity, protecting crops from the extreme heat outside. Lehyani Ali, the operations manager at Dava, highlights the success of growing ripe tomatoes in these controlled environments. By using advanced agricultural techniques, Dava is able to produce fresh vegetables year-round, offering a sustainable solution to the challenges faced by traditional farmers in Saudi Arabia. This innovation not only helps meet the country's food needs but also provides a model for future agricultural development in extreme climates.
