How has technology allowed Israel to increase its food production?

Answer 1

The Zionists during and prior to the creation of the State of Israel, brought much more

advanced agronomic techniques to the Middle East than that region had ever seen before.

There were modern systems of water-piping and irrigation, the use of hardier crops and

genetic variants, the use of secondary crops (such as peanuts) to replenish the soil with

nutrients, the increase of the size of farms and the use of mechanized forms of reaping,

the use of insecticides, the use of stabilizing plants (such as eucalyptus trees) to firm up

swampy soil enough for cultivation, the use of genetic engineering to pioneer saltwater

crops (such as the saltwater tomato), and the increased prevalence of desalination plants

and humidity-liquifiers to increase liquid water content.
