The Negev Desert
Improved answer: Israel has had limited success (Have a look at Google earth and try to find any green desert!) in the Negev at a high cost. Most of the irrigation water has been diverted from the River Jordan before it enters the Sea of Galilee, reducing the flow of the Jordan to about 20% of the original and has increased salinity. This places enormous stress on the environment (the Dead Sea is estimated to not exist by 2050) and on neighbouring Syria and Jordan.
Other desert nations have been as successful with irrigation but it always comes at a high price.

The answer you are looking for is the NEGEV DESERT, but the wording of the question confuses the issue. Crops are cultivated in the Negev Desert because of modern Israeli agricultural and irrigation technologies; the desert does not give rise to crops on its own.

How has Israel has increased food production in its dry climate?
Primarily through effective, efficient irrigation. Primarily through many innovations over many decades going way back to its pre-state years. Israelis invented drip irrigation. It created smaller versions of tomatoes and other vegetables, as well as smaller bananas and other fruits. It experimented heavily in growing in briny waters. Israel had no choice because it had to absorb many immigrants in a very tiny arid land and had to find ways to feed them without spending everything on food imports. Israel today is over 85% self-sufficient on foodstuffs.
