ADAFSA Unveils Essential Guidelines for Weather Resilience in Farming and Livestock Care

In the heart of Abu Dhabi, amidst the windswept plains and verdant fields, lies a crucial call to action from the Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority (ADAFSA). As storm clouds gather and rains threaten the fertile lands, ADAFSA’s advisory echoes across farms and barns, urging vigilance against the capricious whims of weather.

Farmers and livestock breeders, guardians of the land’s bounty, are beckoned to heed the counsel of ADAFSA. With storms looming and winds howling, precautions become paramount. Water drainage tools stand sentinel, ensuring the ebb and flow of rainwater do not drown the crops in their care. Electrical installations, guardians against darkness, are scrutinized by skilled hands to thwart the menace of power outages.

In the realm of livestock, a sanctuary must be sought within the sturdy confines of shelters, shielding these gentle creatures from the tempest’s fury. Adequate water, untouched by the sky’s tears, must be provided to quench their thirst. Vigilance becomes the watchword as the health of barn animals is monitored, any hint of malaise warranting the attention of a seasoned veterinarian.

Feed, the sustenance of life, is safeguarded from moisture’s embrace within tightly sealed storage, shielded from the onslaught of rain by sturdy covers. Should any morsel be touched by rain’s kiss, swift separation and drying are the prescribed remedies to prevent spoilage.

Farmers, custodians of the land’s legacy, are admonished to secure their tools and equipment, lest they become missiles of destruction in the wind’s cruel game. Broken branches, potential projectiles in the making, are pruned to safeguard the sanctity of the farm’s borders. Within this realm, no construction nor maintenance shall tread during the storm’s wrath, for the safety of workers must reign supreme.

In the realm of protected structures, a delicate dance with nature unfolds. Fans whir and cooling panels trickle water, warding off the encroaching dust. Iron structures and plastic covers stand sentinel, guardians against nature’s fury. Agricultural operations within these sanctuaries must cease during the tempest’s rage, ensuring the safety of those who toil within.

Yet amidst the storm’s fury, hope blossoms in the form of preventive measures. Fungicides, guardians against the blight of fungal diseases, are administered to crops with care, shielding them from nature’s unseen assailants.

To all who till the earth and tend to its creatures, ADAFSA extends its hand in guidance. Consultation, aid, and expertise stand ready at agricultural guidance centers and veterinary clinics, bastions of knowledge in the fight against climate change’s ravages. Together, let us weather the storms, safeguarding our farms, our livelihoods, and our shared future.
