The sense of history here leaves me in a state of awe. &nbsp;The Sea of Galilee is also known as the Kineret.

It is a very small company among giants like Amazon, Google and Tesla. It&#8217;s two founders have backgrounds in plant breeding and genetics, and they developed a non-GMO genetics platform to improve yields and characteristics for resiliency. The World Bank is an investor. It&#8217;s main focus is on the major crops in the world: wheat, soybeans, rice, corn, canola, tomatoes and peppers. Top Seeds is its subsidiary that specializes in vegetable seeds. The company&#8217;s plant breeding process can shave 2-3 years off the plant breeding cycle which can take up to ten years. In addition to improved productivity Top Seed is innovating to deliver better taste and longer shelf life. A member of our delegation, Hank Giclas of Western Growers Association, takes us on a quick tour.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"text_exposed_show\">\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hFwQy-6C4QY?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" title=\"YouTube video: Hank Giclas of Western Growers at Top Seeds in Israel\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>We then traveled to Jerusalem &#8211; a sprawling, hilly city mixing the very modern with some of the oldest history we know.
