Fruit Trees Feeding the Homeless
Fruit trees  along sidewalks can feed the homeless. One apple or peach tree can yield 300 pounds of food. One plum tree can yield 100 pounds of food. If fruit trees lined the street, imagine how much food could be produced. Planting urban trees along the street in our cities, can provide not only a visual and beautiful background to a barren street,  it gives the homeless and hungry the ability to access food that is healthy and fresh when it may be needed most. Several cities around the world are trying this idea.

Coupling the above with entrepreneurial mindset means that technological inventions, such as the aforementioned, proves that Israel as a country is well-respected globally as an enterprising nation in the agriculture technology (agritech) space.

Fish Can Work Day and Night
Even fish can work.  The amazing acts like eating and producing waste that fish do, is the perfect fertilizer for growing plants.  Aquaponics is just like a natural ecosystem. Aquaponics represents the relationship between water, aquatic life, bacteria, nutrient dynamics, and plants which grow together in  places like waterways  throughout the  world.  Exchanging the waste by-product from the fish as a food for the bacteria, to be converted into a perfect fertilizer for the plants, and then  to return the water in a clean and safe form to the fish is how these systems work creating tremendous yields.
