Floating farms of the future
Channel: COP28 UAE
Date: 2023-12-10

The Actionists from Abu Dhabi-based startup, Manhat, have created a floating water desalination platform, powered by solar energy. Water evaporating from the surface of the ocean is captured, condensed, and collected as fresh water — mimicking the natural water cycle and can avoid the usual desalination by-product of brine. Combined with greenhouse-like structures, the water can be used to irrigate crops, enabling the platforms to become floating, off-grid farms. Join a 🌍 of #Actionism at cop28.com/action #COP28UAE
