Right Farm joins hands with Circa Biotech to enhance the UAE’s food sustainability and security

Dubai, UAE - Right Farm, a disruptive UAE-based B2B digital platform that sources fresh produce from local and international farms for the food service and retail sectors, today announced its partnership with Circa Biotech, the region’s first waste-to-feed project, aimed at creating a circular economy by utilizing industrial insect farming to upcycle organic waste into protein-rich animal feed and organic fertilizer.

Through this collaboration, Right Farm will become one of Circa Biotech’s first major partners. The Key aim behind this partnership is to contribute to the UAE’s ongoing effort to enhance food security and create a more sustainable food system through innovation and technology, a goal in line with the UAE’s strategic initiative of net zero by 2050 and the National Food Security Strategy 2051.

This comes as part of Right Farm’s commitment to creating a circular economy and a restorative and regenerative food supply chain. In the UAE alone, almost two million tonnes of food waste are dumped in landfills which contribute more to greenhouse gas emissions than the vehicles in the country. Through this collaboration, Circa Biotech will use Right Farm’s organic waste, diverting it from landfills, to upcycle into high-quality products using industrial farming of the Black Soldier Fly
