Stretching Limited Resources

Israel's agricultural development has always been challenged by the country's scarcity of arable land and water resources.

When Jews began resettling their historic homeland in the late 19th century, their first efforts were directed towards reclaiming the land, mostly semi-arid, while much of the rest had been rendered untillable by deforestation, soil erosion and neglect. Rocky fields were cleared, and terraces built in the hilly regions; swampland was drained, and systematic reforestation begun; erosion of the loess soil of the coastal plain and the south was counteracted, and salty land washed to reduce soil salinity.
