In a major step toward transforming the United Arab Emirates’ agricultural and food production landscape, Emirates Rawabi PSC, one of the country’s leading integrated agribusiness groups, has entered into a strategic partnership with ReFarm Global Investments LLC, a pioneer in regenerative and circular sustainability technologies.
The collaboration aims to revolutionize both food production and landscaping across the UAE, introducing new standards for sustainable urban development and eco-friendly agriculture.
Together, the two companies will advance a circular agribusiness model that emphasizes cost efficiency, carbon reduction, and regenerative farming. Their goal is to strengthen food security, restore soil health, and drastically reduce water consumption across the country’s agricultural and landscaping sectors.
The initiative also aligns with the UAE’s national vision to make Dubai one of the world’s most beautiful and liveable cities, contributing to urban greening, smarter irrigation systems, and reduced urban heat. It is expected to reshape the landscaping industry by promoting eco-efficient design, lower water use, and resilient green spaces that support long-term environmental goals.

A Partnership for the Future of Food
The collaboration merges Emirates Rawabi’s expertise in dairy, poultry, animal feed, and food production with ReFarm’s innovative technologies in regenerative soil systems and waste-to-value solutions.
The partnership’s shared mission is to create a regenerative food ecosystem—one that enhances soil vitality, optimizes natural resources, and ensures both economic and environmental efficiency.
“Our mission is to restore balance between nature, technology, and progress,” said Oliver Christof, CEO of ReFarm Global Investments. “Through this partnership, we aim to empower farmers, developers, and food producers with innovative systems that strengthen food security while conserving air, soil, and water resources.”
He added, “We share a common vision to position the UAE as a global leader in regenerative agriculture. Our technologies help farmers grow healthier crops using less water while maintaining soil quality and productivity.”
Sustainable Farming: From Soil to Plate
Mazen Al Refae, Group CEO of Emirates Rawabi PSC, said the partnership represents a major milestone in the company’s sustainability journey.
“At Emirates Rawabi, sustainability lies at the heart of our operations. Through Emirates Rawabi Sustainable Solutions (ERSS), we already integrate biogas, solar power, and advanced water treatment to create circular, efficient, and responsible systems,” he said.
“Together with ReFarm, we’re introducing scalable solutions that redefine sustainable farming—from soil to plate—raising the bar for circularity and measurable environmental impact.”
Advancing the UAE’s Sustainability Goals
Under the agreement, Emirates Rawabi and ReFarm Global will roll out pilot projects across the UAE to demonstrate circular agriculture in action—from waste valorization and regenerative soil management to innovative water systems.
The initiative supports the UAE’s national goals on food security, climate action, and sustainable development, positioning the country as a global example of how technology and innovation can drive a low-carbon, sustainable agricultural future.
