 the resolution, and the private sector has a critical role to play in introducing and scaling innovative technologies. Orlar&#8217;s vertical farming technology offers an advanced solution, particularly in estuarine and near-coastal areas where due to rapidly rising
 salinity levels, agricultural production needs to shift from rice production to other and higher-value crops. While Orlar has already developed and is improving hi-tech systems to monitor many environmental aspects of production, SNV&#8217;s TA in this project is
