A Drip Irrigation Program
The Drip Irrigation system is a revolutionary agricultural innovation, designed in Israel by Simcha Bass in 1959. Since then, Israel has assisted many water-impoverished nations and high population density in water conservation while still yielding high crops. Drip Irrigation is the most efficient water and nutrient delivery system for growing crops. It delivers water and nutrients directly to the plant's root zone, in the right amounts, at the right time, so each plant gets exactly what it needs, when it needs it, to grow optimally.

Every year on April 22, Earth Day marks the anniversary of the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970. In 2021, Israel announced the launch of its new 30-year environmental plan, which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2050. Among the targets of the program are a commitment to close all coal plants by 2025, which would represent the fastest pace of coal reduction in the world! It also aims to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions in the electricity sector by 75% - 85% by 2050, as well as improve its energy consumption per unit of product by 1.3% per year. Educate fellow classmates and peers this Earth Day on the leader of environmental advancements - ISRAEL! Materials Include:
