At the initiative of the Israeli Ministry of Agriculture, Israel will host the International Summit on Food from the Sea & the Desert, its first event on food scarcity and climate with representatives from Bahrain, Morocco, and Jordan.
The event will take place in the southern city of Eilat from October 18 to 20.
This initiative portrays Israel’s efforts to increase economic and agricultural ties with Arab and Mediterranean countries.
The city of Eilat is attempting to brand itself as an international hub for agritech and food tech, having last year implemented a multi-year, NIS 170 million ($49 million) development plan for this purpose, according to the Times of Israel.
“The State of Israel has tremendous potential in this field and is already leading relevant research and technology development. This conference will set the wheels turning on cooperation with countries across our region with similar challenges and climates,” said Oded Forer, the Israeli minister of agriculture and rural development according to the previously mentioned media outlet.
Bahrain, Morocco, and Jordan are expected to participate in the event.
