This research is being conducted in partnership between the Applied Research Institute Jerusalem (ARIJ) from Palestine as a main applicant (Leader) and the Royal Scientific Society (RSS) from Jordan as a contributor.

The research aims at developing the agricultural system to improve food security in the Jordan Valley region in the light of drought, climate change, water scarcity and land deterioration. Such an objective cannot be achieved without establishing a solid foundation of information that shall be built into an integrated database. The database is one of the significant tools used to enhance our understanding of the current situation of the agricultural system, resources management, technology adoption and crop diversification to support the plant study and research to improve the capacity of this system on food security and economic approach.
