A video posted on national news agency WAM captures him visiting several model farms in the capital's Al Bahia area.
Sheikh Mohamed said he was delighted to see Emirati youth design and develop ambitious projects and contribute to the UAE's sustainable food security plan.
"Supporting the agriculture sector is consistent with the UAE's strategy for sustainability, environmental protection and preserving natural resources," he added.
It comes after the UAE Cabinet, last week, launched a National System for Sustainable Agriculture to boost production at local farms.
