Blending Tradition and Innovation for Sustainable Crop Cultivation
Amidst the vast expanse of 126 hectares (approximately 300 feddan), lies the resting farm of His Excellency, the former President of the Republic of Sudan, Mr. Omar Al-Bashir. Designed by Ahmed El Batrawy in collaboration with Jenaan Investment – UAE, this remarkable agricultural endeavor showcases a harmonious blend of traditional farming principles and modern landscaping techniques.
The design of the farm reflects meticulous planning and attention to detail, with a focus on optimizing land utilization and resource efficiency. Combining traditional farm ideas with attractive landscaping, the layout encompasses designated areas for different crops, incorporating multiple irrigation methods tailored to the specific needs of each cultivated plant.
Central to the design is the careful study of water sources and the implementation of innovative techniques to maximize their utilization. By harnessing the natural resources available, the farm strives to achieve sustainability and resilience in crop cultivation, even in arid environments.
Moreover, the farm’s architectural and engineering elements demonstrate a commitment to excellence in design and construction. From the layout of the palace at the heart of the farm to the implementation of civil, mechanical, and agricultural engineering ideas, every aspect is meticulously planned to ensure efficiency and functionality.
As stakeholders in the agricultural industry, from farmers and agronomists to entrepreneurs and industry professionals, it is imperative to draw inspiration from projects like His Excellency Omar Al-Bashir’s resting farm. By embracing innovation and tradition, we can cultivate sustainable solutions that not only optimize productivity but also preserve the environment for future generations.
