"The beauty of this course lies in its structure and sequencing of different subjects covering wider aspects of agriculture. I now have a very good understanding regarding the efforts made by Israel in agriculture, especially in an arid climate agriculture, with protected cultivation, smart pest management, control monitoring, drip irrigation and renewable energy utilisation.
The technical content along with the exposure to practical experience made the course more comprehensive for me."

"The programme was a revelation!
About the lectures and visits: Very innovative! It showed that we all do not know everything at first but must learn to conquer our environment…. Vegetable production techniques show great resolve to confront our peculiar issues through research to improve old practices, learning and standardisation for a better future. Irrigation techniques were an exciting revelation - they hold the key to Israel's success (the miracle) in agriculture. Robotic dairy farming is a meeting point between the old and the new. The AI around it holds great potential for the livestock industry… We witnessed simple, pragmatic innovation with the potential to revolutionize agriculture and deliver food security globally to the poor."

"I am grateful to GIMI for this opportunity to come to Israel. The country is well known for new innovation and techno-agriculture with excellent management of scarce natural resources for good agriculture production and processing. The exposure visits to different agro-ecological situations have given me a lot of learning and understanding of the value chain food production system in the public-private-social partnerships and collaboration."
