Dubai Social Agenda 33, aimed at empowering Dubai citizens and increasing their
productivity and economic contribution, thereby achieving self-sufficiency and physical, family,

products and crops produced in their homes as they will be at the level of the emirate's
neighborhoods, as well as raise community awareness on the latest methods and techniques

in agriculture.
