The MENAT Regenerative Agriculture Initiative spearheads a regional movement to advance research, scientific innovation, and nature-based solutions; tackling food systems, water security, and climate challenges.
MENAT Regenerative Agriculture Venture Programme
Goumbook’s MENAT Regenerative Agriculture Programme aims to initiate a regionally-relevant regenerative agriculture movement, positioning regenerative agriculture as a critical response to both climate resilience and the unique agricultural challenges faced in this arid, saline, desert, and water-scarce region.
The programme aims to empower and upskill researchers and innovators who are addressing fundamental agricultural challenges in the MENAT region by focusing on innovative solutions related to food security, soil health, climate change mitigation and adaptation, carbon sequestration, salinity, water scarcity, desertification, biodiversity loss, and rural social welfare.
