City of Yuma and Ramat HaNegev enter into Memorandum of Understanding on Sept. 16, 2020

The Yuma Center of Excellence in Desert Agriculture (YCEDA) is collaborating with a business in Israel known as NSL Comm, a company that provides Internet of Things (IoT) data communications from remote locations such as agriculture fields through Nano Satellites.

A collaborative effort is underway to define a binational research project that would include a team of researchers at the University of Arizona, the USDA Arid Land Agricultural Research Center, and the Ramat HaNegev Desert R & D AgroResearch Center.
