Scarabée Regenerative
Regenerative Agriculture ~ Lebanon
We stand with everyone in Lebanon facing, once again, an inhumane assault.
February~March 2026
Scarabée Regenerative is working to share Regenerative Agriculture principles and practices as the most cost-effective solution to the food and economic crisis In Lebanon.
By helping farmers afford the transition away from a costly synthetic agriculture, we reduce the input costs of fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and fuel for mechanized equipment, so they become more profitable. And by building healthy soils, farmers produce abundant nutritious foods further benefiting them and the communities they feed.
Building on a legacy of regenerative farming and gardening practices dating back to 2019, we are dedicated to restoring Lebanon’s agricultural landscape. After a period of suspension following the August 4th, 2020 explosion, we resumed our work in August 2023 with the launch of the Lebanon Farm Projects.
This momentum led to the creation of RFGC in November 2024, the specialized consultancy wing of Scarabée Regenerative. Since our relaunch, we have been active on the ground, successfully transitioning diverse farms into thriving, biological systems. By providing farmers with the necessary expertise and tools, we ensure they are fully equipped to continue this vital work autonomously for generations to come.
RFGC’s team of experts continue Scarabée Regenerative's mission by guiding diverse projects, ranging from private home gardens, orchards and olive groves to the design and management of a large scale regenerative land development.
RFGC’s recent partnership with Souk El Tayeb highlights this commitment. We are currently implementing a Lebanese Home Garden at their new location, designed as a living classroom to promote regenerative practices and foster community engagement through hands-on learning. Our team remains on the ground daily following the February 23, 2026, attacks.
Depending on the success of our efforts in Lebanon, we would love to expand into neighboring countries.

In Lebanon
Our Mission in Lebanon
We are joining the local conversation in ecological agriculture to secure Lebanon’s food sovereignty.
Our mission is to introduce farmers and gardeners to regenerative principles through our digital platforms while actively transitioning local farms to large-scale, sustainable practices. By raising critical funds, we support struggling farmers in their journey toward a healthier agricultural future.
To achieve these goals, we focus on:
-
Capacity Building: Funding specialized workshops and practical training for the local community.
-
Demonstration Sites: Establishing educational farms to showcase real-world regenerative results.
-
Knowledge Exchange: Bridging the gap between traditional wisdom and modern science through symposiums and conferences.
-
Strategic Partnerships: Collaborating with Lebanese NGOs and cooperatives to amplify our collective impact.
-
Local Economic Support: Prioritizing Lebanese specialists and sub-contractors to ensure our investments directly benefit the local labor market.
Why?
The once Fertile Crescent, reduced to a degraded and eroded landscape, is but a mere shadow of its ancient self. Centuries of tillage and overgrazing, combined with the last seventy years of mechanized, synthetic agriculture has led to the loss of arable lands, the toxification of soils and water supplies.
Compromised agricultural systems unable to feed societies, have triggered severe food insecurity, hunger, and malnutrition in the region. This in turn, aggravates the already volatile social and political situation, and fuels migrations to Northern countries, exacerbating refugee crises in Europe.
The collapse of the banking sector in Lebanon, with 98% inflation of the local currency as of Feb 2023, the seemingly unending political deadlock and the collapse of public services have compounded untenable living conditions, plunging many Lebanese towards famine. "Many families cannot afford the quantity and variety of food they require, and additionally cannot afford the expenses involved in getting health treatment."(UNICEF) This once fertile country is currently unable to feed itself.
We hope now, in 2025, with a new president, that a path to recovery will finally move Lebanon to a steady recovery, rebuild, heal and regenerate.
Regenerative Agriculture
USA
Regenerative Organic Agriculture is humanity’s chance to restore balance to the planet. It describes a set of farming and grazing practices aimed at reviving pasture and agricultural lands, by focusing on soil health. Regenerating depleted soils increases food production and the nutritional content of crops.
The principles of Regenerative Agriculture are universally applicable and include: agroforestry, silvopasture, conservation tillage, maximized crop diversity, perennial plantings, crop rotation, in farm fertility, livestock integration and managed grazing. Farm practices always work towards these goals and are context specific — varying depending on region, soil, crops and climate.
Regenerative Agriculture practices build soils by increasing soil organic matter and in the process, ecosystem biodiversity is restored, water cycles are filtered and replenished, and carbon dioxide is sequestered. The benefits on society and the planet are overreaching. Practices such as agroecology alone "can simultaneously increase farm productivity and food security, improve incomes and rural livelihoods, and reverse the trend towards species loss and genetic erosion." (UN)
