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.

Russia is the largest nation in the world; its climate varies significantly across its vast territory. Only the western parts experience certain climatic conditions that are required for successful crop cultivation. Grain crops such as wheat, barley, oats, and rye are the principal crops grown in Russia. Other crops such as corn, sunflower seeds, soybeans, and potatoes are also grown. Agriculture remains one of the most important sectors in Russia’s economy and the country’s authorities perceive it as one of potential economic growth drivers. The last few years have seen agriculture emerge as a real success story of the Russian economy. This is the reason for enthusiasm about food as a driver for Russia’s rise. This paper introduces the reader to the practice of agriculture in Russia.
