Main Stage
  • How are biochar, no-till systems, and water-saving technologies transforming desert agriculture into a viable, investable climate solution, and what’s the commercial case for scaling them across the middle east, and north Africa?
  • What are the most promising tech platforms and carbon monetisation models driving adoption of regenerative practices in the UAE and Morocco, and how can startups and agribusinesses participate?
  • Which technologies, remote sensing, pyrolysis, soil analytics, IoT-enabled irrigation, are closing the data and efficiency gap in regenerative systems, and where is the white space for innovation?
  • How can MENA-developed regenerative solutions be positioned for global export, especially to regions facing rising desertification like Sub-Saharan Africa, Southern Europe, and Central Asia?
