Advanced agricultural technology at Kibbutz Ketura. Agricultural research in Israel is based on close cooperation and interaction between scientists, consultants, farmers and agriculture-related industries. Israel's climate ranges from Mediterranean (Csa) to semi-arid and arid. Shortage of irrigation water and inadequate precipitation in some ...
When completed, most drinking water supplied to Israel's residents from Hadera southwards – in other words, most of the country's population – would come from desalinated seawater. [19] By 2014, Israel's desalination programs provided roughly 35% of Israel's drinking water and it is expected to supply 40% by 2015 and 70% by 2050. [20]
The growth in agricultural production is based on close cooperation of scientists, farmers and agriculture-related industries and has resulted in the development of advanced agricultural technology, water-conserving irrigation methods, anaerobic digestion, greenhouse technology, desert agriculture and salinity research.

The shortage of water is a constraint. In 2008, agriculture represented 2.5% of total GDP and 3.6% of exports. [2] Israel is not self-sufficient in growing food. In 2021, Israel's agricultural imports totaled 8,791 million and agricultural exports totaled 2,445 million dollars. [3] Grains, oilseeds, meat, coffee, cocoa, and sugar were among the ...
Israel has built a successful circular water economy, and we have learned many important lessons along the way which we are excited to share. Opinion: We can reduce greenhouse gas if we embrace ...
The National Water Carrier was inaugurated in 1964, with 80% of its water being allocated to agriculture and 20% for drinking water. As time passed, increasing amounts were consumed as drinking water, and by the early 1990s, the National Carrier was supplying half of the drinking water in Israel.
Israel pumps its water primarily from three sources, Lake Kinneret (Sea of Galilee), and the coastal and mountain aquifers. [1] As of 2004, these three sources provided approximately 73% of Israel's drinking water. [7] Israel utilizes almost all of its naturally replenishing water sources for municipal, agricultural and industrial purposes.
Israel is a country with limited water resources. Its climate ranges from Mediterranean in the north to semi-arid and arid in the south. Due to these factors, research by the ARO has focused on: Agriculture under arid conditions and on marginal soils; Irrigation using recycled wastewater and saline water; Crop cultivation in protected environments
