High-Tech Agriculture in Israel and What You Might Not Know
High-Tech Agriculture in Israel and What You Might Not Know
It may sound implausible, but high-tech agriculture in Israel is, in fact, the miraculous transformation of stony and barren land into what people often refer to as the "land of milk and honey." Just hearing this, we can somewhat imagine the tremendous benefits that this high-tech approach brings to the agriculture sector. Without further ado, let's explore how high-tech agriculture in Israel has been applied and what it has brought to our Vietnam.
1. Introduction to High-Tech Agriculture in Israel
Why should it be Israel's high-tech and not from any other country? This is a question that many people ask, and the reality has provided them with an answer more precise than ever.
You might not know that Israel is one of the countries in the world with minimal gold forests and silver seas. Instead, up to 70% of its land area is a rocky desert, with the remaining part being rocky hills with harsh climates.
However, through research and exploration, the people of Israel have applied various modern technological methods to agriculture. They developed a water collection system, utilized leguminous plants to absorb nitrogen for soil regeneration, and invented drip irrigation technology for crops. Over the years, they introduced machinery and technology to manage everything from soil preparation to harvesting, maximizing human and labor resources.
In the end, they successfully turned this stony land into the "kingdom of agriculture," even creating and developing many crop varieties with yields 3 to 4 times higher than other countries in the world.
That's why high-tech agriculture in Israel is highly regarded, adopted, and applied in various countries, including our own.
2. How Has High-Tech Agriculture from Israel Been Applied in Vietnam?
During the period of international integration, Vietnam has continually absorbed advancements from developed countries worldwide. From this, the application of modern scientific and technological measures has promoted comprehensive development for the country.
One notable example is the widespread application of high-tech agriculture from Israel throughout Vietnam.
Firstly, we must mention automatic irrigation technology, which helps crops continuously absorb water for consistent growth, while also being a labor-saving solution. Many provinces and cities in our country have started to adopt this smart irrigation technology from Israel.
Secondly, the drip irrigation system in agriculture is suitable for regions experiencing year-round drought. We can observe hydroponic farming models using this system to irrigate and fertilize crops with nutrient-rich droplets, enhancing harvest yields.
The greatest advantage of the drip irrigation system is its water-saving capability, up to 60-70% compared to conventional systems.
The third is the greenhouse cultivation model, most prominently seen in Da Lat - Lam Dong, aiming to create the ideal environment for plant growth. In Israel, this model brings many benefits to the agricultural sector.
The fourth is the hybridization and biological control of insects to address pests and implement natural pollination for crops.
In addition, there are many other applications of high-tech agriculture from Israel, such as seed selection, breeding, closed-loop harvesting, etc.
3. Benefits from Applying Israeli High-Tech Agriculture in Vietnam
After a short period of applying Israeli high-tech agriculture in Vietnam, many positive changes have been observed:
- Crop productivity and output have increased by over 30-40% compared to traditional farming methods.
- Higher quality of output products.
- Labor-saving.
- Water and nutrient fertilizer savings.
- Ability to grow crops in greenhouse models in areas with harsh climates without affecting the growth rate and development.
- Regeneration of fertile soil.
- ...
Especially, Israeli technology is not too difficult to apply in Vietnam, as these are methods that people can easily learn and actively implement. That is why everyone needs to equip themselves with the necessary knowledge to improve their family's livelihood.

In general, the successful application of Israeli high-tech agriculture in Vietnam brings many immediate and long-term benefits to the people, enhancing the comprehensive development potential of the domestic agricultural sector and helping Vietnam advance further on the international stage.
