(JNS.org) In a campaign to revitalize its barren terrain, Nevada hopes to share best practices on water and crops with Israel. The desert-heavy U.S. state’s governor, Brian Sandoval, is planning a trip to Israel’s Negev in October to learn more about indoor farming, and how using Israeli technology could rejuvenate Nevada’s lackluster farming industry. Nevada, which suffers from a lack of water and farmable terrain, has only 40 acres of indoor farming statewide. Israel, meanwhile, has historically adapted to chronic water shortages.  “One of the prominent areas of mutual interest is water management,” said Uri Resnick, deputy consul general of Israel to the Southwest United States.
