We are excited to announce a strategic partnership between Plantaform and The Alliance for Sustainable Schools (TASS), aiming to revolutionize sustainability education in the United Arab Emirates. This collaboration will introduce Plantaform’s state-of-the-art indoor gardening device into TASS member schools across the UAE, providing students with hands-on experience in growing fresh produce using innovative fogponics technology.
TASS is a non-profit network of schools working together to help accelerate the transition to a sustainable future. As an agent of change, TASS harnesses the collective influence of its members, engages with their students, and partners with innovative organizations in their local communities to catalyse systems change in five focus areas – school food, school buses, school uniforms, school buildings and education for sustainability.
Addressing Food Security and Sustainability in the UAE
The UAE faces unique challenges regarding food security due to its arid climate and reliance on imported produce. By integrating Plantaform smart indoor gardens into classrooms, students will learn about sustainable agriculture practices that conserve water and reduce dependence on external food sources. This initiative aligns with the UAE's vision for a sustainable future and emphasizes the importance of local food production.
Educational Benefits for Students
Through this partnership, students will:
- Gain Practical Experience: Engage directly with fogponics technology to grow herbs and leafy greens indoors, fostering a deeper understanding of plant biology and sustainable agriculture.
- Enhance STEM Learning: Incorporate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics concepts into real-world applications, encouraging innovation and critical thinking.
- Promote Environmental Stewardship: Develop awareness of sustainable practices and the impact of local food production on reducing carbon footprints.
"Integrating Plantaform's Indoor Garden system into our schools provides an unparalleled opportunity for students to engage with sustainability concepts firsthand," says Mashal Mush, Sustainability Business Manager, TASS. "This partnership exemplifies our commitment to fostering environmental responsibility among students in the UAE.”
