Yosef Farm pioneers organic farming in Israel’s desert, showcasing advanced techniques to cultivate crops in harsh conditions

In Short:
– Yosef Farm in Israel grows organic crops using advanced water management despite harsh desert conditions.
– The farm exclusively sells produce, including cucumbers and tomatoes, to the Israeli organic market.

For thousands of years, it’s been a global human challenge – how to farm agriculture in dry, arid environments.

Yosef Farm in Southern Israel, is redefining desert agriculture with innovative organic farming methods. By employing advanced water management and leveraging ample sunlight, the farm successfully grows crops in a challenging climate while keeping pests at bay thanks to its remote location.

The farm specialises in cucumbers – baby, regular, and cornichon – grown in greenhouses during winter, along with fresh tomatoes. All produce is sold exclusively to Israel’s organic market, partnering with local shops and dealers to bring quality crops to consumers.

Human touch

Water efficiency is a cornerstone of Yosef Farm, using Mediterranean desalination facilities, drip irrigation, and high-pressure systems.

Founder Roey Yosef advocates for agricultural development in desert areas, encouraging others to consider desert farming and choose crops wisely.

He also explains the importance of readiness and resilience, drawing from his experiences responding to regional crises near the Gaza Strip.

On October 7, Roey was on his farm when word came through that there had ben an attack. As an army reservist, he instinctively knew how to respond, having his farm in the hands of his workers while he went to the border to protect his country.

Jabin Hallihan discusses share investing strategies and market insights from Family Financial Solutions ahead of 2026

In Short:
– Jabin Hallihan advises diversifying portfolios and buying shares during fluctuating markets, emphasising long-term strategies.
– He highlights AI and copper as promising sectors, predicting strong earnings for BHP in 2026.

Jabin Hallihan from Family Financial Solutions shares expert advice on investing in shares as markets fluctuate. He highlights the difficulty of timing the market and echoes Warren Buffett’s philosophy: the best time to buy shares was yesterday. For investors, understanding market timing is crucial.

The ASX 200 is currently valued at around 8,500, slightly below its October peak of 9,000. With a price-to-earnings ratio near 17, above the long-term average of 14, expected earnings for the coming year look promising at 10–11%. Hallihan emphasises the importance of a diversified portfolio and identifies AI as a continuing investment theme, while high-quality stocks like BHP and Rio Tinto offer resilience during downturns.

For funding acquisitions, consider taking profits from outperforming US tech stocks and reallocating into leading Australian resource companies. Looking into 2026, AI investment by major firms is set to accelerate, and the Australian mining sector—particularly copper—could provide significant upside. Jabin Hallihan can be contacted through Family Financial Solutions in Heatherton, Victoria.

Baruch Dach discusses SimpliiGood’s innovative plant-based smoked salmon made from solar-powered spirulina aimed at tackling climate change

In Short:
– Baruch Dach founded SimpliiGood, focusing on sustainable protein from solar-powered, desert-grown spirulina for plant-based smoked salmon.
– The company targets the restaurant industry and will launch its product in Israel, followed by Europe and the US.

SimpliiGood is redefining sustainable protein by turning solar-powered, desert-grown spirulina into whole-cut alternatives like plant-based smoked salmon.

Founder and CTO Baruch Dach explains how spirulina’s unique biology enables it to efficiently convert solar energy into complete protein while maintaining a structure similar to muscle fiber.

Baruch breaks down how the controlled desert environment, powered by renewable energy, allows for scalable, clean, and climate-resilient food production. The conversation dives into how spirulina’s natural properties make it an ideal base for delicate proteins like fish, something many plant-based brands struggle to replicate.

With spirulina at the centre of their innovation, SimpliiGood is pushing the boundaries of clean-label, nutrient-rich protein alternatives.

 SimpliiGood’s smoked salmon is set to launch in January, targeting restaurants, bagels, and sushi markets. Initial sales will be in Israel, expanding to Western Europe, with plans to register with the FDA for a US launch.

The company positions itself as an ingredient supplier in the plant-based and hybrid markets, aiming to provide products that create a satisfying consumer experience, whether they are entirely plant-based or contain small amounts of fish or meat.
