Nevada seeks farming answers

Israel experts in getting more out of little water are ready for a Nevada mission to their territory.

Gov. Brian Sandoval is leading a group of Nevadans to Israel's Negev, a desert and semidesert region in the south, to learn more about indoor farming.

“One of the prominent areas of mutual interest is water management,” Uri Resnick, deputy consul general of Israel to the Southwest United States, told Jspace.com.

Nevada imports billions of dollars of food every year to feed tourists and has been in touch with the Israeli national water company, Mekorot, seeking assistance.
