Strauss: the highly advanced face of Israeli agriculture.
Lead
Israel got its independence just within a year after India’s independence. While India has a total area of 32 lakh 87 thousand sq km, Israel has that of only 21 thousand sq km. India is known to be an agrarian country, while Israel is not. It receives rainfall between merely minimum 3 to maximum 107 cm. Irregular rains, high and low terrain, proximity to desert land and the ocean have made their soil useless for agriculture. Moreover, the limestone level in their soil is higher. Yet the Israelis by developing a spectacular technology in agriculture and by reusing every drop of conserved water have brought an astonishing revolution in agriculture. Strauss Group is one of the names associated with revolutionary agricultural production in such land. Our monthly column Brand Stories includes the Strauss Experiment for agriculture lovers in Maharashtra.
