About

Israel is internationally recognized for its cutting-edge AgriTech sector, with deep expertise in precision agriculture, pest monitoring, biological control, and integrated pest management (IPM). The country’s arid climate and intensive farming practices have driven the development of advanced solutions for plant health, including AI-based early detection systems, remote sensing, and smart irrigation that reduce pest risks and pesticide use. Supported by world-class R&D institutions such as the Volcani Center and universities like the Hebrew University and the Technion, Israeli researchers and companies bring strong scientific capabilities and proven field applications. Moreover, Israel’s regulatory bodies and agricultural extension services are experienced in implementing phytosanitary measures at scale, often in export-sensitive sectors. With active participation in international research and a collaborative mindset, Israeli organizations are ideal partners for developing holistic, scalable pest risk management strategies aligned with the Farm to Fork objectives.
