What's Happening?
Goumbook, a social enterprise, is promoting regenerative agriculture in the Middle East, North Africa, and Türkiye (MENAT) region to address food security challenges. The organization collaborates with various stakeholders to develop sustainable agricultural
practices that improve soil health and water efficiency. The MENAT Regenerative Agriculture Venture Programme, now in its second year, supports innovations in organic fertilizers, soil regeneration, and agricultural technologies. This initiative aims to create a resilient agricultural ecosystem in the region.
Why It's Important?
The MENAT region faces significant environmental challenges, including climate change and water scarcity, which threaten food security. Goumbook's efforts in regenerative agriculture could lead to more sustainable farming practices, enhancing the region's ability to produce food despite harsh conditions. This initiative not only addresses local food security but also contributes to global sustainability goals. By fostering innovation and collaboration, Goumbook is helping to build a more resilient agricultural sector that can withstand environmental pressures.
What's Next?
Goumbook plans to continue its efforts by engaging policymakers and the private sector to create supportive regulatory frameworks and investment opportunities for regenerative agriculture. The organization will also host events like the MENAT Regenerative Agriculture Summit to promote partnerships and scale solutions. As the program progresses, it is expected to attract more international interest and participation, potentially leading to broader adoption of regenerative practices in other regions facing similar challenges.
