How Israel Is Turning a Desert into Farmland

I've been to a sustainable greenhouse farm in Israel, and I was able to see a lot of these innovations firsthand. It's incredible, and the vegetables I tasted there were some of the most delicious I've ever eaten.

@@54032Zepol East Texas, here. Granted - From Latvia originally, but have lived here for over 20yrs. Both of my daughters are in the FFA at their school. Now they even have them raise animals (one has a goat, the other a calf.) They can either donate them once they're out of school, or have them processed for meat at the local butcher. (Most likely what we will do.) Though, admittedly, the goat is a nanny so we may keep her for milk/cheese/breeding. Don't need any more cows. Some places are extremely proud of their farmers. Sadly many others have begun to look down on farmers as relics of a distant past... as if they could eat without them.

They would even bring soil from other regions because the ground is so salty and inadequate. Really fascinating stuff.

My dad was using drip lines here in southern missouri in the 80s and 90s. When we cut grass we'd let it fill the grass catcher and then place the grass over drip line areas to help keep moisture around the roots. He went from growing tomatoes and corn to over time expanding to growing green beans, cucumbers, and yellow squash. Till he hurt himself we'd sell the extra tomatoes and corn from his Nursery business.

Israel was always ahead of its time on water conservation, farming, renewable energy. Solar panels were on so many building back when I lived there in 2000 and I recall they had turned a massive landfill into a thriving park. They're always coming up with game changing technologies. Last I read, a company named "N-Drip" came up with a gravity drip irrigation system that can cut 80+ % of CO2 and Methane emissions for farmers. Considering 27% of global CO2 emissions come from farming, this could be a revolutionizing technology in the fight against climate change.

[@extrapolate]

@@TheAtemiles lol. So many things wrong about your comment. A colony requires a mother country, what’s the Jews’? A colony requires imposition of a new language and has no history in the land, see endless archeological and historical proof of Jewish people in the land. It’s a home coming, not a colony. Doesn’t matter how much you repeat it. That’s why Jewish people in Israel will never surrender, they can’t afford it they have nowhere else to go unlike European and Arab colonies that have fallen for example (America, south of Spain). The so called aid budget makes up around 1-2% of Israel’s gpd. And it’s an American investment in their own arms industry (since it can only be used for that) and makes sure israel sticks to American arms. America does diplomacy through aid everywhere in the world, yet the only one that seems to bother you is the one given to arguably their most reliable ally in the Middle East that happens to be a Jewish majority state. Makes you wonder why. Lastly, as I said America gives billions of aid to many countries around the world. If developing said infrastructure was in fact due to the aid then israel wouldn’t be alone. Not to mention the never ending terrorist attacks they need to put up with and that drain their budget. Guess you’re back to the drawing board. Go learn a bit.

In the 2023 budget, they're scheduled to receive 500 million just for border security alone 2) 75% of all military foreign aid to Israel must be used on American materials and workers. The US gains plenty in this cooperation. 3) Israel is a colony of whom? No one. You're just saying a bunch of words with no meaning. The Kingdom of Judea and Samaria (aka Israel) came before the arab settlements We have definitive archeological proof of a thriving Jewish nation with the city of David, the tunnels of Solomon, the fortresses built by Herod or the underground city built by King Hezekiah. 4) Jerusalem always had a Jewish majority. The British census of 1864 and the Ottoman census of 1875 and 1910 showed that 5) Even after the fall of the Jewish kingdoms, Jews still lived on the land. There were Jewish communities in Hebron, Galilee, Nablus, Gaza since the 9th century. There are Sephardic Jewish families who can trace their lineage in Jerusalem from the 13th century 6) 80% of Palestine was given to Transjordan by the British in 1921 as a result of the Hashamites being kicked out of modern day Saudi Arabia. The King even called himself the king of the Palestinians 7) Israel offered the West Bank back to Jordan but it refused 8) Zionists legally bought land from Arab farmers and they were the first to develop the land and the economy in Palestine. That alone attracted nearly 100k Arabs to move to Palestine for work opportunities in the 1920's 9) The Ottomans for nearly 300 years refused to allow Jews to migrate to Palestine, instead they flooded the area with Arabs and expelled Jews that already lived in Palestine I could go on and on but the point is, you're saying a bunch of easy to debunk garbage.

Some farms use it, but I don't believe it's required and thus a ton of water is wasted.

I visited Israel and was amazed by the people and how warm and innovative they are! I don’t think most people realize the country is surrounded by very tribal and violent neighbors, and yet the Israelis managed to decolonize the country from the Brits and Ottomans, and make the land thrive. The Jewish and Christian history there is ancient and fascinating!

That just goes to show that with a strong political will and support, even a country with a harsh desert environment can be transformed into a productive agricultural land.

[@LamLawIndy]

Admittedly, Israel is a special case, though. Forming the political will to create expensive desalination plants, for example, is a bit easier when your neighbors aren't exactly thrilled that you're in their neighborhood & have actually fought wars against you. It makes you realize in stark terms that some forms of self-sufficiency are absolutely imperative. The Israeli arms industry is Exhibit A in this regard.

Most of the agriculture in Israel isn't in the desert areas and most of the desert is still desert. These are just some marginal areas

[@jasondanielfair2193]

This is indeed already in the works by the government and local industry to replenish the Sea of Galilee. There has been some talk about doing something similar with the Dead Sea for years and years but it never goes anywhere due to logistics of the desert and cost. Still, the goal of replenishing ground water is not only ideal, but a necessity here.

And that's why the so-called "California Drought" issue is nonsense. Clearly, there are ways to conserve water AND meet the needs of locals. Somehow, the states most affected by the roving droughts throughout the American southwest are not incentivized enough to do anything about it. SMH.

[@liam2184]

Legitimate question, during the process of de-salinating sea water what happens to the waste products left behind? Obviously the salt and mineral content of the sea water doesnt just dissapear? So therefore Does the high salinity 'brine' get dumped back into the ocean or is there currently a better way of dealing with this waste?

[@liam2184]

Not just a question to Israelis using this method but to anyone more knowledgeable than myself about this process- Thankyou

[@daharos]

In the US, the brine is basically dumped back into the ocean via pipes that in theory go where they'll do less environmental damage. Not sure if Israel does but I believe this is standard practice. Be better to fill a reservoir that could work as a giant battery. Just saying.

[@DOI_ARTS]

The salt can be sold as rock salt

[@Dsmith551]

It's a big issue. And the Dead Sea is drying up. It's a huge problem.

[@stevenkidd6761]

Recycling the brine is a huge difficulty for California. If they mix it with wastewater, it gets pumped 2 to 3 miles off shore. That creates 2 problems. The h2o part is that it doesn't provide water to local aquifers, but uses local fresh h2o and sends it to the ocean, which can cause serious damage(if you like seafood, you don't like this). All I got for you.

We know from various archeology records that modern day Tunisia was flourishing with forests and farmland. That and the Romans explicitly mention importing grain from there once they controlled it. And ancient Caanan was... a desert like it is today. There were small pockets of places that got enough rain for agriculture, but hardly the land of plenty. Given that there were places like Egypt and Anatolia where travelers regularly came from, I'm a bit surprised the ancient Hebrews saw this and decided this was God's promised land as opposed to some land he left over for them. The must truly had faith to continue after reaching their destination.
