Ohio–Israel Agricultural Partnerships and Technology Transfer

Goal: Strengthen agricultural collaboration between Ohio and Israel through research, technology transfer, trade, and commercial partnerships.

TerrAqua and the Negev Foundation assessed the agricultural strengths, needs, and opportunities in Ohio and Israel to identify areas for expanded cooperation. The project examined opportunities for research collaboration, technology transfer, agricultural biotechnology, marketing, and trade, providing a framework for government agencies, universities, businesses, and producers to develop long-term partnerships.

The initiative led to trade missions, research exchanges, and collaborative projects in areas including beef cattle exports, biosecurity technologies, and advanced irrigation systems. It also helped strengthen business relationships between Ohio and Israeli agricultural organizations, contributing to new commercial investment in the state.

Clients: The Negev Foundation, the Government of Israel, the Ohio Department of Agriculture, USDA and other partner organizations
