In February 1968, this nation's founding fathers met under a desert tent and shared an idea that would turn into something truly great: the United Arab Emirates. Animated by this spirit of collaboration, The Good Place by Expo Live is an exhibition space dedicated to showcasing human potential and those who work to advance it – through the Expo Live innovation and partnership programme and beyond.

With a design inspired by the tent where the UAE was conceived, the pavilion showcases social innovations conceived to improve our lives. Come and meet ordinary people doing extraordinary things – and be inspired to join our global community.

Designed by renowned Emirati architect Ahmad Abdulrahman Bukhash, The Good Place’s structure expands the Bedouin tent shape into an elegant white canopy, folded with seven origami-like angles on each side to join at a tall peak. The tent seems to float over a clean, glass box.

From farm to plate, the food value chain is an integral part of society, providing income and livelihoods for billions. The ways in which we currently cultivate food by means of deforestation and food waste however, are all contributing adversely to climate change. Expo will serve as a platform to bring together all stakeholders in various value chains to spotlight localized solutions to food, nutrition and farming challenges. The programme will explore food sustainably, climate-friendly agriculture and other practices that work in harmony with the environment.

Expo Live Impact Series

From farm to plate, the food value chain is an integral part of society, providing income and livelihoods for billions. But the way in which we currently cultivate our food is a signiﬁcant contributor to climate change through deforestation, land degradation, pollution, and food waste. Expo is a platform that brings stakeholders across value chains to spotlight localised solutions to food security, nutrition, and farming challenges. 
This event will explore how to grow food sustainably and will encompass approaches to climate-friendly agricultural practices that maximise productivity while operating in harmony with the environment.
It will also highlight Expo’s efforts and successes in planning Urban Agriculture into the Expo site and District 2020, as well as how International Participants include food and urban agriculture into their pavilion design and operations.
