The Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority (AFSA) has taken measures to restrict farmers from crypto mining on their land.

阿布扎比农业和食品安全局（AFSA）已采取措施限制农民在其土地上进行加密货币挖矿。

According to the advisory report, the authority urged farmers to avoid turning their farms into crypto-mining sites. The regulators noted that individuals engaging in crypto mining on their farms violated the Land Act.

根据咨询报告，当局敦促农民避免将他们的农场变成加密矿场。监管机构指出，在其农场从事加密货币挖矿的个人违反了《土地法》。

The AFSA highlighted that farmers mining crypto used the farm for purposes other than the intended use. Compared to electricity consumed in agricultural practices, crypto mining has higher computation power, consuming large amounts of electricity.

AFSA 强调，开采加密货币的农民将农场用于预期用途以外的目的。与农业生产中消耗的电力相比，加密货币挖矿具有更高的计算能力，消耗大量的电力。

The authority confirmed that misuse of the farm was punishable by law, and individuals engaging in such acts would face legal charges. The AFSA stated that farmers violating the the Land Act will receive fines worth 10,000 UAE dirhams (around $2722).

当局确认，滥用农场将受到法律惩罚，从事此类行为的个人将面临法律指控。 AFSA 表示，违反《土地法》的农民将被处以 10,000 阿联酋迪拉姆（约合 2722 美元）的罚款。

Recently, crypto mining activities have gained popularity in the Middle East due to the region’s suitability. As the UAE becomes the hotspot for crypto and blockchain technologies, several businesses have shown interest in expanding to the region.

最近，由于该地区的适宜性，加密货币挖矿活动在中东地区越来越受欢迎。随着阿联酋成为加密货币和区块链技术的热点，一些企业表现出了向该地区扩张的兴趣。
