WATCH | How Bill Gates is tackling climate change with $200m project in UAE
US billionaire and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates recently visited the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to mark the progress of a groundbreaking US$200 million initiative aimed at tackling global food security challenges.
The UAE and the Gates Foundation have teamed up to address the growing concerns of climate change's impact on food systems, with a focus on supporting smallholder farmers in developing countries.
At the heart of this collaboration is the use of cutting-edge AI and technology to help farmers, particularly in resource-constrained areas.
Gates visited key projects such as the CGIAR AI Hub, where AI is being used to enhance agricultural support in low-income regions. He also explored efforts to combat threats like the Red Palm Weevil and the development of AI-powered weather forecasts designed to help farmers adapt to the challenges posed by climate change.
