Challenges
Lebanon benefits from an ideal climate and terrain for the agricultural production of many crops and products. The opportunity to increase farming capacity and to serve the food industry and the consumers is substantial. The opportunity is accelerated by a critical need to increase local food production and to do it, in more sustainable and responsible ways.
Solutions
Biomass increases the production capacity of organic certified food products in Lebanon, by using farming techniques and practices that reduce and optimize agricultural input use and resource use. Examples of targeted resources include water (drip irrigation, permaculture, etc) and energy (by using renewable energy).
