Capturing the MidEast in short soundbites: poignant reflections by people who understand the complexities of the Middle East. My philosophy is: "less is more." You won't agree with everything that's here, but I'm confident you will find it interesting! Excepting the titles, my own comments are minimal. Instead I rely on news sources to string together what I hope is an interesting, politically challenging, non-partisan, non-ideological narrative.

Israel Brings Drip Irrigation to Africa
Israeli Know-How Helping to Combat Hunger in Africa
-Danielle Nierenberg & Janeen Madan
Israel has been a leader in developing innovative drip-irrigation systems that reduce the amount of water needed for farming.
The Family Drip Irrigation System (FDIS) was developed by the International Program for Arid Land Crops at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, in partnership with the Israeli irrigation company Netafim.
The Israel Foreign Ministry is partnering with local government agencies and NGOs to introduce FDIS in countries across Africa.
