Growing corn with drip irrigation has been a common practice in many parts of the world for over 30 years. Drip systems maintain certain unique characteristics that help make them the best irrigation alternative for corn in many growing scenarios.

A Turkmenistan company new to agriculture is now growing premium tomatoes for export with the greenhouse expertise provided by Netafim's local greenhouse projects team.

People are often unaware of the fact that greenhouses complement drip irrigation by taking sustainability several steps forward, increasing yields even further with fewer resources. In fact, growing crops in greenhouses produces 6 to 10 times the amount of yield compared to growing them in open fields.

Innovative technologies are enabling farmers to achieve better yields and increased ROI with minimal effort while attracting the interests of the younger generation.

In developing countries, women bear the brunt of every load. Literally. They birth and raise their children, are responsible for the home, its cleanliness and provisions, and head out to the fields to earn their families’ daily wages.
