Neom’s Topian and Estidamah team up on sustainable agriculture

Topian + Estidamah partner on sustainable agriculture: Neom’s food company Topian has signed an MoU with the National Research and Development Center for Sustainable Agriculture (Estidamah) to develop and promote sustainable agriculture in the Kingdom, according to a statement released last week. The agreement’s first project, which starts this month, will see a variety of evaluation trials to identify the most economical vegetable crops and test the quality of hydroponic growing crops. They will also partner on developing water and energy-efficient greenhouse technologies adapted to desert environments.

REMEMBER- Neom launched Topian — which will focus on climate-resistant agriculture, regenerative aquaculture, and sustainable food supply — last month. Neom also entered into a partnership in November with US-based food tech company BlueNalu on sustainable and secure food ecosystems by promoting cell-cultivated seafood.
