  1. cactus farms, particularly ones that produce that cacti milk.


  2. Making The Desert Blossom As A Rose

    One of Israel's highest priorities has been to provide enough food for its population, and this has triggered off a massive and costly campaign to reclaim the Negev, which makes up 65% of the national land area. Although the initial prospects weren't encouraging, a turning point came in 1964 with the completion of the Israeli National Water Carrier (INWC). The INWC is an elaborate system of pipes, conduits and tunnels which was designed to carry water from the Sea of Galilee, in the far North, to the rain-starved areas of the center and the south. For the Negev itself, the scheme meant an additional 320 million cubic meters of water a year - a 75% increase.

    By 1985, some 60,000 hectares were under cultivation and a one-time wasteland of sand and rock was yielding its own rich crop of fruit, vegetables, cereals and cotton.

    Another vital element in the "greening" on the Negev has been the widespread use of new technology, especially drip irrigation.

    Another component of the successful agriculture of Israel is making use of the Kibbutzim, or community farms, instead of single farmers trying to make it on their own.

    But the key to long-term development lies deep below the desert itself, where vast deposits of water from the Ice Age lie buried. A small part of this underground reservoir has already been tapped, and Israeli scientists foresee as future in which the whole great Negev will flow with life- giving water.

  3. hunger.

  4. Drip irrigation...they are the ones that really made that method work.  Same production with a lot less water.

  5. Method?  Israel succeeded due to a successful agricultural research program and determination to implement the results from these studies.

    The israeli's are masters of irrigation with poor quality water and concentrated agricultural production (confined feeding, greenhouse management, etc.)
