Dubai has launched a major new food technology hub set to act as a "global destination" for enterprising businesses and a key driver of the emirate's economy.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai, unveiled the forward-thinking Food Tech Valley on Saturday. He said the "city" would help further develop vertical farming and other advanced agriculture technologies and bolster the UAE's food security. The state-of-the-art centre aims to triple the UAE's food production and make the country more self-sustainable. It was developed through a partnership between the Ministry of Food and Water Security and Wasl Properties.
