Abstract

Since 2002, ICARDA, in collaboration with National Agricultural Research Systems (NARS), has pioneered a high-density vertical soilless cultivation system in the Arabian Peninsula. Tailored for medium-sized farmers, this innovative system is optimized for the production of high-value crops such as herbs, leafy greens, and fruits.
