Since over 60% of Israel is occupied by the Negev desert, measures to combat desertification were initiated at an early stage of the country’s development and have intensified. In the agricultural sector, substantial savings have been achieved through technological improvements in irrigation methods, increasing the efficient use of water and effluents, promoting water recycling, minimizing pesticide use, advancing organic and greenhouse agricultures, and the development of new crops and innovative machinery. Scarcity of water, limited land resources, and lack of natural resources have led Israel to base its economy on technological advances that have considerably reduced the risk of desertification.
