Agriculture
Cutting-edge agricultural research
One of the most innovative areas of the Negev region’s success is also one of its most ancient: agriculture.
The breakthroughs in arid-region cultivation made in the Negev are already feeding thousands in arid regions of the United States, Africa, and Asia. The center carries out research in collaboration with academic institutions and works in symbiotic cooperation with neighboring farms. It produces practical solutions that are implemented immediately in commercial fields, greenhouses, and orchards.
The Yoel DeMalach Center for Desert Agriculture
- The Yoel DeMalach Center for Desert Agriculture is a research and development campus with a unique focus on training programs in advanced agriculture techniques designed for a variety of environments.
- The work at the Center involving greenhouse crops, energy, and water conservation increases food security throughout the Negev region and beyond.
Visitors’ Center
The goals and objectives of the Visitors’ Center include:
- Giving access to the Center’s operations to the general public
- Making scientific agricultural knowledge accessible to a non-professional audience
- Presenting the history of settlement in the Negev with special emphasis on agricultural development
- Showcasing the Center’s international activities
The Yoel DeMalach Center for Desert Agriculture collaborates with local farms, universities, and global partners. Funding is urgently needed to continue this important work.
