Desertification

Israel continues to contribute to the global effort to combat desertification and create a better, greener and healthier world.

As a result, the UN determined Israel is an expert in combating desertification, which is the process by which drought, deforestation, and inappropriate agriculture turns fertile land into desert.

Learn how Israel combats desertification by sharing its know-how, best practices and technologies with the rest of the world.
