The Egyptian Future Authority for Sustainable Development, led by businessman Ayman Gemayel, is working to transform the Western Desert into large agricultural projects to bridge the production-import gap and achieve food security. The authority has reclaimed over 3.5 million acres of desert land over the past ten years, despite challenges like population increase, water shortage, and seed and fertilizer shortages. The reclaimed land is being used for agriculture, industrialization, and urban planning, with a goal to become one of the largest entities in development activities by 2027. The authority is also involved in livestock projects, scientific research, and urban planning, with a focus on sustainable development and combating climate change. It is partnering with the private sector for agricultural industrialization, urban development, and international partnerships in seeds and food manufacturing.
