Abstract

The episode deals with the most important environmental and agricultural issues. The decline of crop cultivation and the failure to exploit arable land has caused pollution.

Its task is to find solutions to the urban concentrations near farms, the over consumption of water in agriculture, especially in the Jordan valley, and the large use of fertilisers from chicken excrement.
