  • Saudi Arabia must import the overwhelming share of its food, and due to the withering heat, nutritious fruit and vegetables can spoil quickly.

Female entrepreneurs in Saudi Arabia are pioneering innovative approaches to build a climate-resilient local food supply, as highlighted in a recent Fortune article.
