The MIGAL Annual Conference for Agriculture of the Future:

Blossoms of Regeneration

Welcome to the agricultural community’s event of the year!

We invite you to take sustainable farming to the next level and to strengthen Israel’s food security.

Our fourth annual conference, SunnySide 2025, comes as the winds of renewal begin driving change in Israel’s North. In light of the ongoing effects of the war, this is an opportunity to reimagine and redesign the region’s agriculture: to build a 21st century plan that integrates state-of-the-art growing techniques with renewal energy production, regenerative agriculture and advanced technologies to increase productivity, yields and income sustainably.

The MIGAL Research Institute carries out applied R&D in the fields of agriculture, food, health and the environment. For four decades, we have studied the balance between agriculture, environment and the community, and established a knowledge center as a comprehensive resource for Agriculture of the Future. To this end, we are partnering with stakeholders across the ecosystem: from farmers and research institutes to entrepreneurs, regulatory leaders, government representatives, funders, startups and technology experts. Dialogue among these diverse players is paving the way for the integration of state-of-the-art systems and processes into the fabric of standard Israeli agriculture, and introducing pioneering new agricultural concepts and techniques across the globe.

Join us this year for a special conference that will celebrate renewal and growth, positioning the Galilee as the visionary leader of Future Agriculture and sustainable food systems. On the agenda are top-tier speakers and roundtable discussions, alongside excellent networking opportunities, practical demonstrations of applied agricultural technologies, exhibitions and a regional farmers market.

Together, we will celebrate the renewal and growth of the Galilee, update our knowledge, learn, establish new partnerships, sow the seeds of the future of agriculture, and lay the foundations for world food security.
