About this episode
This episode explores how vegetation can thrive in Dubai's desert environment through innovative practices like vertical farming and beekeeping.
As one of Asia’s sunniest cities, with limited rainfall, there’s an assumption that little in the way of vegetation grows in Dubai. But if you know where to look, the green shoots are plentiful - and in this episode Kate meets the people managing to grow in the desert and carefully manage the city’s resources. She visits one its many ‘vertical farms’ - and goes beekeeping at the school which focuses on teaching children to engage with the environment.
