This paradigm encompasses controlled environment agriculture, regenerative farming, agrivoltaics, and more, offering a sustainable path forward. The transformation requires a collaborative effort from farmers, investors, consumers, and policy makers to ensure a resilient food system.

Agritecture plays a crucial role in this transition, providing expert advisory services to navigate the future of agriculture. Our global network of interdisciplinary consultants delivers strategic insights and innovative solutions, empowering clients to adapt and thrive. By focusing on sustainable practices and resilience, Agritecture aims to shape a robust global food system for future generations.

The Interplay Between Skills-Based Labor Mobility & Climate Change in the MENA Region The Interplay Between Skills-Based Labor Mobility & Climate Change in the MENA Region
The objective of this review was three-fold: (1) To define climate change in the MENA region and skill labor mobility partnership (SMPs), (2) to identify climate change initiatives that indicate future labor needs in the MENA region, and (3) to review case studies and successful SMPs either in the MENA region or outside. The ultimate purpose, therefore, is to identify sectors, skills, and infrastructure for mutually beneficial SMPs to help bolster the MENA region’s resilience in the face of climate change.
