The New York Times this weekend highlighted Israel’s development of agricultural techniques to conserve water while building a vibrant agricultural sector. Unlike our previous post, which concentrated on inventions in the field of agriculture, the NY Times article focuses on the business side of growing crops. It also includes some pointed warnings, including the reminder that no one can really control how much it rains–and therefore how much water will be available for crops. Nonetheless, this is a great start on a project of vital importance to world health.
The article also contains a worthwhile movie with interviews and pictures.
