For a self-sufficient Israel
resILience fund’s Purpose
Partnering with farmers across the State of Israel with the primary goals of ensuring Israel becomes completely self-sufficient in all life-sustaining food items through large-scale local production, and improving farming efficiency, economics of scale and profitable growth opportunities.
This can be achieved through integrating advanced technologies such as smart irrigation, vertical farming, precision agriculture to increase yield and ensure long-term sustainability, and collaborating with AgTech companies in Israel and around the world.
