The Qatar 2022 Supreme Committee is all set to extend their cooling technology planned for the FIFA World Cup to develop food and water security solutions.
The technology is expected to help farmers in dry lands and other regions which suffers from water scarcities. The Supreme Committee will be aided by Qatar National Food Security Programme (QNFSP) for the program.
“When international sporting events come to new regions, the opportunity is created to focus on the challenges of sustainable development. We are committed to celebrating the power of football to bring critical issues front and centre. We see this as an amazing opportunity to make advances that benefit millions, and potentially billions, throughout the world while also building a more sustainable future for all those who call our region home,” Qatar 2022 secretary general Hassan Al Thawadi said.
The plans will begin in early 2014 and will serve as a platform for research and development of food production and climate control
