SDC deployment priority
Context
Riyadh region combines intensive agriculture (notably poultry, dairy, vegetables), flagship giga-projects (New Murabba, Diriyah, Qiddiya), and the Kingdom's most ambitious urban greening program — Green Riyadh. SDC is headquartered in Hittin, Riyadh, and the majority of our pilot engagements operate from here.
Regional priorities
- Green Riyadh tree establishment and survival
- Commercial agriculture water efficiency (dairy fodder, vegetables)
- Giga-project landscape masterplans
- Municipal park and median irrigation reduction
Why LNC fits
Riyadh's soil is predominantly sandy with calcareous patches — textbook LNC territory. The combination of high-value urban greening, strategic giga-projects, and commercial agriculture makes it the highest-value region for SDC engagement.
