Falconcity of Wonders, Dubai’s iconic integrated complex and a subsidiary of Salem Ahmad AlMoosa Enterprises, has launched the Green Revolution month to encourage people to lead healthy and sustainable lifestyles through the concept of urban farming.
The initiative, which will take place every Friday from February 18 to March 11, 2022, in the Falconcity of Wonders’ dedicated urban farming area, is aimed toward people of all ages and includes a variety of activities for both children and adults. The goal is to raise public awareness about urban farming and to provide visitors with the knowledge and skills they need to practice it and improve their well-being in the Falconcity community.
The Green Revolution month will introduce to farming techniques such as the hydroponic farming system where crops are grown in water instead of soil and with minimal effort, and the Dronii Dutch Bucket System which promotes how to grow herbs and flowering plants such as tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, brinjals, beans, and okra.
