One great method is drip irrigation. These days we can even go further, and say drip fertigation, which is the combination of irrigation and fertilizer. Drip fertigation is spoon-feeding an individual plant and can be used to minimize water loss and fertilizer contamination of the soil. In addition, in many areas the soil can be too harsh to grow plants, and in such cases we can grow the plants in a detached platform. This enables us to control exactly what is given to the plants without contaminating the soil. In general, we need to do three things. The first is agrotechnology, such as drip irrigation and the platform. The second is genetics - using species and cultivars that are efficient in their water and nutrient use. The third is recruiting the knowledge that has been gathered over the past 20 to 40 years in arid regions.

We work closely with farmers in order to maintain economic agriculture which is also sustainable in the desert.
