At the annual CleanTech Expo in Tel Aviv, Arutz Sheva TV met the head of the Katif Center Laboratories who presented technology developed in Gush Katif – the Jewish communities of Gaza that were evicted by the Israeli government in 2005.
The Katif Center Laboratories presented two innovations: technology to prevent any remains of pesticides from being left on vegetables which are grown in "insect-free" hothouses, and a machine that can examine the level of efficiency of a plant's usage of water.
The second innovation was developed from space-related technology brought to the laboratories by an immigrant to Israel who had developed the technology for space travel purposes.
