Abstract

Agriculture is a highly developed industry in Israel. Only 20% of the land area is naturally arable. Due to the diversity of the land and climate across the nation, Israel is able to grow a wide range of crops including wheat, sorghum, and corn. Israel has overcome many challenges (such as limited land and water resources) to emerge as a world leader in agriculture and water management technologies. Israel’s agriculture experience and success is an invaluable tool that can benefit other developing countries in Africa and beyond. Many farmers around the world look up to Israel on how to manage and flourish in adverse, inhospitable conditions. This paper introduces the reader to the practice of agriculture in Israel.
