Doha: A team of researchers is exploring the possibility of growing non-food crops such as cotton and jute in Qatar.
The research funded by Qatar Foundation’s National Research Fund (QNRF) project aims to find the possibility of using industrial waste as fertiliser to grow non-food crops.
Initially a study by Qatar Shell Research and Technology Center (QSRTC), Texas A&M University at Qatar (TAMUQ) and the Ministry of Municipality and Environment (MME) has found that type of industrial waste called biosludge, which is nutrient-rich organic matter, and can be used as a soil enhancer.
