Sudan Regenerative Agriculture Transformation Program (SRATP)

Transforming Sudan’s Agriculture The Regenerative Pathway

Sudan’s agriculture, historically the backbone of its economy, has immense untapped potential. Despite fertile soils, abundant water, and vast arable land, decades of underinvestment, climate pressures, and outdated practices have limited productivity, food security, and rural livelihoods.

The Sudan Regenerative Agriculture Transformation Program (SRATP) is a bold initiative designed to restore the sector through regenerative practices—farming methods that rebuild soil health, optimize water use, increase biodiversity, and strengthen resilience to climate change.

Key Goals
• Restore degraded soils and ecosystems
• Increase crop yields and farmer incomes
• Strengthen food security and export potential
• Empower rural communities, especially women and youth
• Build climate resilience and create sustainable jobs

Core Interventions
• Soil and Ecosystem Regeneration: Cover cropping, agroforestry, composting
• Water Efficiency: Rainwater harvesting, modern irrigation systems
• Technology & Extension: Digital advisory services, farmer training, remote monitoring
• Value Chains & Market Access: Local processing, export-ready crops, cooperative support
• Policy & Finance Reform: Land tenure security, incentives for regenerative farming, climate finance access

Impact Highlights
• Expected 40–70% increase in yields in targeted areas
• 1.5–2 million rural jobs created
• Significant reduction in food imports and increased foreign exchange from exports
• Carbon sequestration and ecosystem restoration aligned with Sudan’s climate goals

Why It Matters

By investing in regenerative agriculture, Sudan can transform its agricultural sector into a driver of economic growth, resilience, and prosperity for millions of citizens dependent on farming and pastoral livelihoods.
