> Israelis to Teach Nigerians About Desert Farming
>
> With innovative agricultural practices, Israel has brought to fruition the unlikely words of Isaiah 35:1-2, “The desert and the parched land will be glad; the wilderness will rejoice and blossom. Like the crocus, it will burst into bloom.”
>
> Now Israel is teaching other arid countries how to bring life and growth to a desert landscape <http://www.israel21c.org/teaching-nigerians-how-to-farm-in-the-desert/>.
>
> Between 2016 and 2021, 100 participants per year will come to Israel from Kano, a state in northern Nigeria, to receive training in methods for successful desert farming.
>
> The training stems from an agreement of cooperation signed in early December between the Galilee International Management Institute (GIMI) in Nahalal, northern Israel, and the government of Kano, the largest state in Nigeria.
