Grow More With Less!The Agricultural Paradox in the past 60 years
• We use 60% Less water (80% recycled).– Israel is the first to use waste water treatment for agricultural purposes.
• We use Less Land.
• We only use 2.5% of working force (17% in the past).
• Production has Grown by a factor of 20.
Focus on super intensive agriculture!

• Israel's agricultural sector is characterized by an intensive system of production stemming from the need to overcome a scarcity water and arable land.
• Israeli farmers have come to rely on technology and capital as substitutes for the scarce water and harsh climate they face.
• The combination of technology and capital has turned the warmer and potentially unproductive regions of Israel into highly profitable vegetable, fruit, and flower farms.
• These technologies include irrigation, different types of cover, hybrid varieties, hormones and other techniques.
• Irrigation and cover are widely used. Almost all the crops excluding some of the field crops are irrigated and different types of cover are used.
• Field crops are grown on large plots of marginal lands and depend on rainfall more than other crops
