Furthermore, the criteria highlight points such as rationalising resource consumption of
both water and electricity, the use of solar energy, the application of advanced irrigation
systems, the preservation of quality and hygiene, and recycling of irrigation water. The
diversity of plants grown and the balance of plants in the garden are highlighted in the
criteria to ensure overall appearance.

In addition, the criteria set standards for the type and quality of production, maintaining
the garden's hygiene, security, and safety measures such as guarding power lines,
irrigation sockets, and service corridors within the park, and the requirement for an
innovative and unique idea.

Through Dubai Farms Program, Dubai Municipality will provide a package of services
and facilities that support its national farmers. It will provide agricultural extension
services, control agricultural pests and necessary laboratory tests, competitive prices for
agricultural supplies, machinery, and irrigation systems, and prepare the production
agriculture strategy for Dubai.
