Millions allocated to help restore agricultural areas damaged in iron swords war

Israel's Ministry of Agriculture provides 9 million shekels to restore agricultural lands damaged during Iron Swords war, addressing soil fertility and crop capacity issues.

"extensive agricultural areas were used for military activity, which led to serious damage to the soil structure and fertility - TPS"

Tel Aviv, October 5

Israel's Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security and the Reconstruction Administration will support the restoration of lands/fields damaged in the "Iron Swords" war.

Within this framework, they will provide 9 million Shekels (USD 2.72 million) for the restoration of agricultural lands destroyed due to military activity and terror attacks.

During the "Iron Swords" War, extensive agricultural areas were used for military activity, which led to serious damage to the soil structure and fertility, the growth capacity of agricultural crops, as well as the quality and quantity of the crop in the short and long term.

In addition, access to some fields was restricted due to the war, and therefore the required treatments were not carried out, which harms the ability to grow in agricultural areas for several seasons to come. (ANI/TPS)

Only 9 million shekels? That seems quite low for restoring extensive agricultural damage. Our own government allocates much more for similar rehabilitation projects in India.

As someone who works in agriculture, soil structure damage can take years to recover. The long-term impact on food security is concerning for the region.

War affects everyone, especially farmers who depend on their land. Hope they get proper compensation and technical support for restoration. Jai Kisan! 🙏

While I support helping farmers, I wish the same urgency was shown in preventing conflicts that cause such damage in the first place. Prevention is better than cure.

The mention of "several seasons to come" is worrying. Farmers' livelihoods are at stake. Hope they implement sustainable restoration methods.
