AgriTech 2026 – Food Security in Times of Climate Crisis brought together Israel’s leading minds in agriculture, research, technology, and policy today to address one of the most critical challenges of our time: how to secure food production under accelerating climate uncertainty.
The conference hosted senior representatives from academia, government, growers’ organizations, and AgriTech companies, highlighting Israel’s unique ecosystem where research-driven innovation meets real-world agricultural needs.
At DryGair, we were proud to take center stage in this vital conversation, demonstrating how precise climate control is no longer a luxury, but a necessity for modern food security.

As part of the Automation and Greenhouse Cultivation session, Tal Netzer, CEO of DryGair, joined a distinguished panel of industry and academic leaders to discuss the future of automated climate control in modern greenhouses.
In his address, Netzer emphasized a critical shift in mindset: climate challenges cannot be solved by reaction alone. Instead, growers need precise, automated control of humidity and air movement inside the greenhouse. This proactive approach allows crops to thrive even as external conditions become more extreme and unpredictable.
“Food security in a changing climate depends on resilient production systems, not just better genetics or inputs.”

What makes DryGair’s approach unique is its rigorous scientific foundation. During the event, we highlighted our roots as a patented technology developed through applied research at the Volcani Center, Israel’s leading agricultural research institute.

By translating academic research into a robust commercial solution, DryGair bridges the gap between laboratory insights and scalable, day-to-day greenhouse operations.

• The technology enables:
• Precise humidity control in closed greenhouses.
• Uniform air circulation that eliminates dangerous humid microclimates.
• Reduced dependency on ventilation, preserving valuable heat and CO₂.
• Significant energy savings alongside improved crop health.

Throughout AgriTech 2026, a clear message emerged: Automation in Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) plays a central role in securing the global food supply.
By integrating solutions like DryGair, growers can reduce climate-related risks and prevent humidity-driven plant diseases without relying heavily on fungicides. This leads to improved yield consistency, higher quality produce, and a drastically lower environmental footprint.

AgriTech 2026 reinforced Israel’s position as a global leader in agricultural innovation and highlighted the importance of collaboration between research institutions, technology providers, and growers.
DryGair remains committed to building on our scientific roots, delivering practical climate control solutions that strengthen food security—from research, to the greenhouse, to the harvest.

• The Challenge: Securing food production amid accelerating climate uncertainty requires proactive, not reactive, solutions.
• The Solution: DryGair emphasized that precise, automated control of greenhouse humidity and air movement is essential for resilient production systems.
• The Science: DryGair presented their patented technology, born from applied research at Israel’s Volcani Center, bridging the gap between lab insights and commercial greenhouse operations.
