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
