GLOBE Educators in Oman's Al Dhahirah Governate Visit an Organic Farm
As part of the plan for The GLOBE Program in Al Dhahirah Governorate in the Sultanate of Oman, participants aspire to enrich the knowledge and skill aspects of the GLOBE Educators. One way of doing this was to visit the organic farm belonging to Oman's Nakheel Development Company.
During the visit, educators learned about a sustainable method for palm cultivation, using modern irrigation technology and renewable energy. This is in addition to converting the byproducts of agricultural operations and processing them into valuable products that can be reused.
Through this visit, educators using The GLOBE Program in Al Dhahirah also sought to find partnerships with various entities to support student environmental research.
A video explaining the event can be viewed here.
