Wide of people walking by stalls \u003cbr/\u003eAgriculture in Israel is going green.\u003cbr/\u003eManufacturers at a large show in the Arava desert have been demonstrating environmentally friendly products - like a water saving shower head and a folding fruit crate which reduces packaging waste.\u003cbr/\u003eFarmers and amateur enthusiasts are keen to see the latest innovations designed to help cope with agricultural farming in a region vulnerable to climate change. \u003cbr/\u003eVisitors can see everything from tractors, irrigation systems, flowers and genetically modified seeds, designed to grow in these adverse environments.\u003cbr/\u003eBut the main theme of this year's agriculture show is at the ecological stalls. \u003cbr/\u003eWhether through bumblebee pollination or a self sustaining water purification system, many companies offer greener solutions to our domestic and agricultural problems. \u003cbr/\u003eOne company called BioBee Biological Systems has harnessed the power of a very industrious ally, the humble bumblebee. \u003cbr/\u003eAlso known as Bombus Terrestris, these insects are being used to pollinate crops, eliminating the need for harmful chemicals or hormones to be used to bring on fruit.\u003cbr/\u003e\"The Bombus Terrestris.... clings to the flower in a very particular way with the help of a special physical mechanism called buzz-pollination it shakes the flower and by that makes the release of the pollen more effective which later on helps with the fertilisation of the flowers,\" says Lirit Gritun-Porat from the BioBee company. \u003cbr/\u003eUsing bees rather than chemicals is, according to BioBee, far more cost effective. \u003cbr/\u003eFarmers can place a hive within a greenhouse or an open field, allowing the black and yellow insects to do the work which once took many people.\u003cbr/\u003e\"This solution saves on human resources, it is very ecological and extremely effective,\" adds Gritun-Porat.\u003cbr/\u003eThe use of the bumblebee is now a common sight within Israel's farming community. \u003cbr/\u003eMany growers who use greenhouses employ the insects to pollinate fruits and vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers, strawberries, aubergine and melons. In open fields the bee hives are used for produce, such as avocados, pears and almonds.\u003cbr/\u003eThe buzzing company has also branched out into the market of bio-pesticides; the use of natural predators to control pests such as aphids which can devastate crops.\u003cbr/\u003eYamit, an Israeli company, produces devices capable of making virtually any water source - whether clean or dirty - safe to drink.\u003cbr/\u003eFrom filtration, water purification to de-salination, the company exports units across the globe, helping with agricultural irrigation and drinking water.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Yamit systems can take any source of water, any quantity of water and them make them portable (drinkable) water,\" said Sani Caspi, marketing manager of Yamit.\u003cbr/\u003eEach device manufactured by the company has one distinct advantage, it is self-sustaining. \u003cbr/\u003eYamit's units run using water pressure, negating the need for electricity.\u003cbr/\u003e\"This system, no energy required. It's only by the pressure of the water,\" Caspi explains.\u003cbr/\u003eThe company's systems are used in Africa and Asia to clean well-water by removing impurities such as bacteria.\u003cbr/\u003eWater shortages world-wide - and in Israel especially - inspired the co-owner of Hydrosystems, Noam Twig, to come up with several water saving devices for the private and commercial user.\u003cbr/\u003eA special shower head is one of the products his company offers. \u003cbr/\u003eThis device enables users to reduce water usage in showers by an average of 40 percent every shower.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Eco-Jet (shower heads) are working on the Venturi principal, it is a physical principal that increases the water pressure though we use less water in the shower head. So we use between 40 percent to 50 percent less water but the pressure stays the same.\"\u003cbr/\u003eAccording to Twig, while a regular shower-head uses about 12 litres of water per minute, the special shower-heads called eco-jet uses only eight but maintains a good water pressure.\u003cbr/\u003ePolymer Logistics specialises in what they refer to as \"one-touch retail ready packaging solutions.\" \u003cbr/\u003eThe company shows off its foldable and stackable boxes that can be loaded at the farm and be delivered directly to the retailer.\u003cbr/\u003eRan Shavit, Marketing Manager for Polymer Logistics says: \"The whole loop starts at the packer, or at the grower so they will get the sustainable packaging at the most efficient way already folded and therefore they will only need minimal resources invested in bringing these packaging to the greenhouses and to the fields for the picking. They will open the packaging and put the produce inside, that will be shipped with the trucks to the distribution centres from there delivered to the stores in the same packaging no double handling no triple handling\"\u003cbr/\u003eAccording to Shavit, the foldable boxes reduce transport costs and save on fuels because it is only one container used from start to finish.\u003cbr/\u003eFor every eight trucks bringing the produce to the retailer only one truck goes back to the grower because once the pallets have been folded they require less space.\u003cbr/\u003eMore over, there is no need for the retailer to dispose of used or damaged boxes as before, as their boxes are designed to last for at least ten years. \u003cbr/\u003eAs food security across the world remains unstable the need for new and innovative ways to grow crops increases. \u003cbr/\u003eManufacturers and producers alike are increasingly looking for greener options to help produce higher yields of crops.\u003cbr/\u003eThe annual Israel Agricultural Exhibition two day event took place on 19th and 20th January.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container
