Abu Dhabi is looking to add an additional $25 billion to its gross domestic product by 2045 through a newly launched unit focused on agriculture growth and water security.

The Agrifood Growth and Water Abundance Cluster or AGWA is also meant to attract investments worth 128 billion dirhams ($34.8 billion) during the same period, according to a statement by the emirate’s Department of Economic Development on Saturday.
