Qatar’s ever growing economy and their extensive routes taken to become a more independent country have become ever so present after the start of the blockade. This immediately led Qatar into facing fast decisions into developing local agriculture practices that will satisfy the needs of consumers locally. Hence the start of the produce company “Baladna”, which is now the main source of dairy and other products locally. With this fast growing successful agricultural project comes along a set of new opportunities as a community socially, economically and environmentally, but there are also disadvantages. On a positive note, there was the economic growth contributed by the Baladna farms, less costs for the country as food imports are needed less, as well as export plans that would benefit Qatar’s economy. Moreover the social benefits, such as being able to see the farms that locally produce our dairy products, the products are fresh as they are local and distributed in a timely manner, Where it also allowed Qatar to prove that its capable of relying on itself and being independent especially after facing the crisis of shortage in many necessities during the start of the blockade but within no time, Qatar was able to overcome this obstacle. However this can also be an issue as there are less food choices as the country is limited to their own food products, as well as the concern of the food quality as they tend to not be as good as crops were when they were imported. When examining these agricultural protocols and practices, specifically the importing of crops, many environmental risks are posed which in turn implicate the country’s economy, culture and autocratic nature. Crop conversion increases the risk of nitrogen pollution within the soil, this happens as a result of over-fertilization and chemical preservation augmenting the concentration of pollutants in the soil and spiking nitrogen levels in said crops. Aside from the emission of ammonia into the atmosphere, nitrogen pollution can alter the domestic environment by adversely impacting the rest of the fertile agricultural land. Qatar has invested its efforts into becoming independent and self-sufficient however the unpropitious environmental circumstances can stand in the way. If practices such as importing crops cause long term impacts on the Qatar’s produce it can limit the country’s economic growth by limiting the natural resources accessible for the country for trade and self sufficiency, obligating the country to resume importing food produced elsewhere. Another adverse effect due to a suffering environment is a decrease in tourism rates, limiting Qatar’s cultural and economic progression. Therefore it is crucial that the country employs self-sufficient agricultural methods while keeping the environment into consideration. A positive method for agricultural self sufficiency that Qatar has employed however is the construction of dozens of greenhouses that only use organic fertilizers and mimic the climates fit for certain crops using innovation and technology. Even though amendments are made to existing methods in favor of the environment, the country’s strategy remains anthropocentric in many ways, as the interests of economic progression, culture and society, and political advancement are at the forefront of their agenda.
