Scientific Consequences

New Developments

Qatar is mainly desert land which makes it difficult to farm fresh produce

Environmental Consequences

Long-Term Consequences

In countries with limited space for farming, they are creating new ways to provide produce to the society

Vertical farming is being used in Singapore due to the lack of land for farming

Qatar is mainly desert land which makes it difficult to farm fresh produce so scientists ad researches are experimenting with mimicking greenhouses to farm produce

Increases the amount of species that are in the ecosystem, allowing the ecosystem

Allows other vegetation that is foreign to the desert to be grown

These greenhouses can initiate growth into more of the desert

Short-Term Consequences

The new developments in technology in developing countries allows them to have their own produce grown in their country with limited space

consequently causing less trade putting other countries that depend on trade at risk due to the availability of foreign resources

allows the production for foreign foods to be produced in different climates
