MENAT Regenerative Agriculture Venture Programme Cohort 2024/25 Winners

Actinobacteria- Innovative biofertiliser solutions advance regenerative agriculture and unlock new pathways for sustainable food production through actinobacteria biofertilisers and organic protocols, reducing chemical inputs while enhancing soil fertility, microbiological activity, and crop resilience. By improving soil structure, water balance, and shielding plants from abiotic stress, it ensures sustainable, scalable and cost effective climate-adaptive food production.

Farm to 2Fs used auto-generative high-pressure digestion (AHPD) to transform animal waste into biogas and biofertiliser. Run by a centralized AD unit of agricultural cooperatives, optimizes biogas yield and fertiliser quality while reducing reliance on inorganic inputs, streamlined by a mobile app collection system of waste sourcing. This solution enhances soil health, rural incomes, and energy production while reducing GHG emissions.

RedDot utilises sugar-based nanoparticles to stabilise tailored RNA sequences to target vital genes in pests notably red palm weevil, enabling a selective, non-toxic, and effective biopesticide solution.
