Habiba Organic Farm

Habiba Organic Farm, founded by Maged and Lorena in 1994, is a pioneering eco-hub in Nuweiba.

The Story

What began as a personal journey to reconnect with nature evolved into a community-driven movement. Maged and Lorena's vision extended beyond farming; they sought to create a holistic ecosystem where education, agriculture, and community development intertwine. Over the years, Habiba has become a beacon for those seeking to learn about sustainable living, offering a space where locals and visitors collaborate, learn, and grow together.

Why It’s Ecological

Habiba's commitment to the environment is evident in its practices:

  • Regenerative Agriculture: Transitioning from organic to regenerative methods, the farm focuses on restoring soil health, enhancing biodiversity, and creating resilient ecosystems.
  • Community Engagement: By involving local Bedouin families, Habiba has facilitated the establishment of over 75 farms, promoting food security and sustainable livelihoods.
  • Educational Initiatives: The Regenerative Learning Center serves as an open-air laboratory, hosting workshops and research projects in collaboration with international universities and organizations.

Through these efforts, Habiba not only cultivates crops but also nurtures a culture of sustainability and shared responsibility.
