'''Umm Ghuwailina''' ({{langx|ar|أم غويلينة}}) is a village in [[Qatar]] located in the [[municipalities of Qatar|municipality]] of [[Al-Shahaniya]].<ref name="gis"/>
==Etymology==
In [[Arabic language|Arabic]], "umm" is translated to "mother", and is a common prefix that is attached to a name in order to signify a geographical feature. The second constituent is derived from "ghulan", the Arabic name for a local plant. Ghulan is part of the ''[[Amaranthaceae|Hammada]]'' genus of plants and is commonly used as fodder for camels.<ref name="gis">{{cite web|url=http://geoportal.gisqatar.org.qa/qmap/index.html|title=GIS Portal|publisher=Ministry of Municipality and Environment|access-date=14 July 2018}}</ref>
==Agriculture==
The Umm Ghuwailina Green Fodder Project was launched in April 2018. The project, located on an area of 191 hectares, is estimated to produce 2,700 to 3,000 tonnes of [[clover]] per year for use as fodder. Al-Baida Group developed and is overseeing the project with the assistance of government authorities. It is part of the many government-supported initiatives to increase Qatar's food self-sufficiency.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://thepeninsulaqatar.com/article/02/04/2018/Umm-Ghuwailina-Green-Fodder-Project-opens|title=Umm Ghuwailina Green Fodder Project|publisher=The Peninsula|date=2 April 2018|access-date=16 May 2019}}</ref>
