Dr. Oren Epstein, a doctor of Agricultural Technology, is a member of the International standard organization (ISO). I established the World Marula Center in the Israel arid area.
The world marula center developed innovative agricultural methods to enhance the inhabit of the marula trees. Our methods are implemented with farmers in Israel and will be implemented with our partners in South Africa and Namibia. Our methods allow farmers to increase the quality and quantity of the yield. Our zero-waste policy and propagation method, in fact, increase the number of trees that go back to nature.
