Executive Summary The Australian Cut Flower and Foliage Industry is a well established but fragmented industry. Presently it is divided into three sectors: the largest being the traditional flower sector (predominantly protected cropping), the Australian Native and Protea sector which involves predominately in-ground production, and a new tropical cut flower and foliage sector (North Queensland, Northern Territory and Northern Western Australia). The majority of growers involved in the protected cropping sector utilise hydroponics as a method of growing. Hydroponics production as a method of growing in itself is an efficient use of water in that the plants only use what they need. The waste nutrient mix can be collected, treated for pathogens and reused in the system. This creates a saving in the nutrients applied to the crop and the water used by the system. There are two main areas in which significant skill and knowledge gaps exist which the National ISS Institute Overseas Fellowship training will assist in addressing: • Improving water use efficiency and environmental sustainability • Improving production management and profitability through innovative technologies The aim of this Fellowship was to study the technologies of new and innovative water use efficiencies. Greenhouse automation techniques and technologies which have been developed at research and development facilities will be investigated to ascertain their uptake and implementation into the Cut Flower Industry at grower level. New efficiencies must be explored to ensure sustainability and growth within the Australian market. Specific areas of study and development: • Design and application of new water efficient irrigation technologies. • Identification and evaluation of automated greenhouse systems. • Energy savings from advanced ICT climate control systems. • Methods of collection, disinfestation, recycling and reuse of run-off water. • Information on improvements to labour and input efficiencies. • Methods of improving product yield and quality from such technology. • Improvements in workplace health and safety available from the application of automated systems and labour saving devices. Leading the development of technologies which have significantly improved water use efficiencies while also improving production quality and reducing labour inputs, are Israel and a number of countries within Europe (particularly the Netherlands). This study tour provided Shannon with an opportunity to gain first hand experience in sustainable production technologies for the Cut Flower Industry. The Fellowship included site visits to Israel, Spain and the Netherlands. Issues pertaining to export were also able to be addressed as a consequence of the Fellowship opportunity. There are a number of factors which have limited Australia’s performance as an exporter of cut flowers and flower seeds. One of these is the high degree of fragmentation in the industry. The domestic industry is characterised by a large number of producers, without sufficient scale to market their product overseas. Another factor is the lack of understanding of costs and returns by industry producers, which has led Australia to be a relatively high cost producer. Executive Summary In 2004, the Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation published a study into benchmarking in the industry with the aim of improving profitability (Gerry Parlevliet, Improving profit for the flower grower - a study using benchmarking, August 2004, RIRDC Publication No 04/119 RIRDC Project No DAW-102A). Increased understanding of costs and efficiency in the industry could improve export potential. The following report provides an overview of the Fellowship experience and suggestions for engaging in knowledge transfer activities. In addition, the report concludes with a series of recommendations for Government, industry, the business sector, professional associations, education and training providers, the community and the ISS Institute.

INTRODUCTION This paper analyzes the evolution of the agrarian system in Israel/Palestine from before the establishment of the State of Israel to the present. In a setting of conflict over land and water, it presents the historic evolution of the two agricultural systems and their relative (un)sustainability. Because the territory of Palestine is a contested space the conflict over land and water is shown to be one of the main drivers behind land use and labour prac- tices and the development and implementation of agricultural technology in Israel/Pales- tine. While there is a large body of literature discussing the geopolitics of water in the con- flict (Homer-Dixon, 1999; Selby, 2003; Lowi, 1993; Wolf, 1995) and how the conflict over water has had devastating effects on the environment (Lipchin, 2003; Ferragina, 2008), this article focuses on the use of land and water for agricultural purposes in a historical context. One aspect of agricultural development in Israel is that there exists the imperative for extensification along with intensification, due to security needs. This refers to increasing the area under cultivation and pursuing agriculture in peripheral areas (the desert, the Received: 2008-12-18 ■ Revised: 2009-03-03 ■ Accepted: 2009-04-24 Leah Temper is a Researcher at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.

    February, 2009 Sustainable Desert Community (SDC) Project Wadi Attir Project Update This is the second in a series of project updates which will be produced periodically in order to keep our partners, funders, supporters and friends informed about developments in this exciting initiative involving a Bedouin community in the Negev desert in Israel. The project seeks to develop a model ecological farm in a desert environment, incorporating sustainability principles, Bedouin agricultural experience leveraged by integrated, innovative technologies, and a strong commitment to community values. Since our last update of September 2008, the project continues to unfold briskly, with numerous new partnerships and many exciting developments some of which are highlighted below. A remarkable group of people, from within and outside the Bedouin community, has joined in a unique, collaborative effort to make the project’s vision a reality. Michael Ben-Eli Development Highlights • The project has now an official name. After long deliberations, the Project Team and the full Project Advisory Forum selected “Project Wadi Attir” as the appropriate designation. Wadi Attir is the name of the ravine which hugs the project’s site on its south eastern flank. • The same two groups developed and committed to a set of guidelines, expressed in a Declaration of Principles, which anchors the project’s intentions and provides it with a clear foundation. The Declaration is available in three languages: Arabic, Hebrew and English. A copy is appended to this update report. • The statutory planning process involving acquisition of the site is well underway and plans have already been filed with the Ministry of the Interior.
