 "Scientists have discovered the old Islamic technique of agriculture, every problem will be solved.")
Ancient farming techniques are being revived by Israeli researchers to meet modern challenges. Israeli researchers have revived an ancient farming technique originally developed by Arab and Muslim communities between the 9th and 12th centuries. This method was once used in present-day Israel and the surrounding arid regions. This ancient technology can provide solutions to modern problems like water and food scarcity.
The study was conducted by researchers from Rahmat Gan’s Bar-Ilan University and the Israel Antiquities Authority in Jerusalem. In their research, experts from Iran, Gaza, Egypt, Algeria, and the Atlantic coast of Iberia examined Israel’s water conservation and soil cultivation practices. examined the efforts of Work has been done to improve the techniques in this regard on the Mediterranean coasts. Researchers have suggested that such beneficial technologies can be adopted to address the growing challenges of water scarcity and food insecurity in today’s arid and marginal regions. These techniques can effectively deal with them.
Let’s know about this technique
These methods use available water near urban residential areas. In addition, the sandy soil layer is replenished with fertile soil using local organic matter and urban waste. Vegetables, melons, dates and grapes are grown from this fertile soil.
Ground water
The special thing is that these technologies ensure long-term availability of water and therefore use only water stored at a shallow depth in the ground, in which rainwater and underground water are also used. is In this, water is not sprayed on the ground like in other regions of the world, but the roots of the crops get enough water without wasting it.
Muslim inventors helped
What is special about this research is that the authors wrote in their 35-page research paper published in Environmental Archaeology, that they are grateful to many Muslim explorers of the Middle East, who trusted them with valuable information about their traditional agriculture and irrigation. shared They hope that these technologies can solve the problem of water scarcity and food scarcity in arid deserts.
