|| Agriculture: Israel Is a World Leader in Developing Better Ways to Grow Food

Israel is a major exporter of fresh produce and a world-leader in agricultural technologies, despite the fact that the geography of the country is not naturally conducive to agriculture. Israeli research and development has led to dramatic increases in the quantity and quality of the country’s crops. Among many other things, that’s due to new seed and plant varieties; a soil conditioner substance (vermiculite) which, when mixed with local soils, boosts crop yields; and drip irrigation.

Quote: “Ofer Habib, CEO of [Israeli company] Evogene, stated that it’s urgent to quickly advance the transition from low-tech agriculture to agriculture based on advanced technologies, which will lead to increased yields and improved durability, alongside a reduction in costs, while emphasizing sustainability. Biotechnology companies are leading this trend through innovative and knowledge-rich products which support both farmers’ and environmental needs.”
