Ep 5 | How India & Israel Are Transforming Farming in Haryana | The Green Handshake

🌱 The Green Handshake | Episode 5: Precision Farming in Sirsa, Haryana

What happens when farming meets precision, technology, and innovation?

In Episode 5 of The Green Handshake, host Chandni Shah travels to Sirsa, Haryana, to explore how the India-Israel agricultural partnership is being translated into practical, field-level solutions.

At the Centre of Excellence, Israeli agricultural expertise is being adapted to Indian farming conditions through field trials, precision irrigation, protected cultivation, improved planting material, post-harvest infrastructure, and market linkages.

From drip irrigation and fertigation that deliver water and nutrients directly to the root zone, to orchard-spacing trials designed to improve plantation planning, Sirsa offers a close look at how agricultural practices can be tested and adapted to local conditions.

The episode also takes us inside technology-based greenhouse systems focused on disease-free planting material, while showcasing citrus and pomegranate varieties being tested under local conditions.

But the story doesn't end in the field.

From planting material → cultivation → precision irrigation → post-harvest management → cold storage → market linkage, Sirsa demonstrates a more connected approach to horticulture.

🤝 At the heart of this model is the India-Israel agricultural collaboration, built on a foundation laid in 2009 and strengthened through knowledge sharing, field trials, adaptation, and practical implementation.

Because technology becomes truly meaningful when it works on the ground, in local conditions, for local farmers.

Watch Episode 5 of The Green Handshake to discover how India and Israel are working together to build smarter, more connected, and future-ready agricultural systems.
