Israel Agri-Water seminar
· 2 min read
The Israel Trade Office and Legacy Water Solutions would like to invite you to attend the Agri-Water seminar, focusing on agriculture and water management.
The purpose of the event is to share the Israeli experience in building a successful agriculture industry over the last 70 years in a country that is water starved, in arid and semi-arid regions like the Negev desert. Israel is now in a position to sustain itself and even has surplus water.
The event has been set up in such a way that Israeli companies will do presentations of the products and technologies they have developed to reach water sustainability.
The key focus is on Prof Eilon Adar, the world renowned hydrogeologist. He is the Director for the Zuckerberg Water Research Institute and the Ben Gurion University of the Negev desert. He is an expert in this field and travels to many countries with water challenges as an Israeli ambassador for water solutions. He is a world authority on water matters and is therefore often used as a spokesperson by the global media.
Here is an interview with him on Cape Town’s water crisis: https://www.israel21c.org/can-israel-help-solve-cape-towns-water-crisis/
Time has been set aside for an interactive session with Prof Adar for Q&A and open discussions on the challenges in the Western Cape.

The Portrait of a South African Winemaker
In James Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Stephen Dedalus resolves to express himself "as freely as I can and as wholly as I can". Joyce's hero refuses to be just one thing. That same many-sided energy is increasingly being asked of the modern South African winemaker, who has to adopt different faces for different places.
Who will drink South African wine tomorrow?
Tomorrow’s wine drinker is already here, standing at the braai with a can in one hand and a phone in the other. South African wine still has time to join the occasion, although it may need to loosen its collar first.
Ice in the Chenin and other South African wine crimes
There is ice in the Chenin Blanc, Cap Classique in an ordinary wine glass and a bowl of curry waiting beside a bottle of something pink. By old wine standards, the afternoon is a small crime scene.
