    hydroponics and vertical farm

    Both take water. I'm guessing Qatar doesn't have a whole lot of that.

      Everything takes water, they have desalination plants for that. Hydroponic's goal is both reduce water and land use.

      Qatar is literally surrounded by water on 3 sides. It's water from the Persian Gulf, so I think it's salty. So the only problem is efficient and sustainable desalination. Sounds like a more reasonable approach to me.
