ICL Iberia is preserving and further developing  an ecological corridor at the Tordell Stream. This endeavor is designed to recover the stream’s environmental and societal potential. Tordell is a seasonal stream that is a valuable resource in the Suria municipality. The stream separates a nearby urban area from the Suria mine’s facilities. The stream serves as an ecological corridor in an area that has been disturbed. Unfortunately, over the decades the stream’s flow has decreased, its banks have been channeled,[...]

The Ashalim reservoir, located south of the ICL’s Dead Sea site, is a wet habitat,  situated within a typical arid habitat. It is abundant with rich biological diversity. ICL Dead Sea, whose excavations in the region created this wet habitat, takes extra measures to preserve it, and it is investing much effort to make this unique habitat accessible to the public. ICL Dead Sea’s actions are an example of its proactive commitment to environmental responsibility, combining its operational needs with efforts to preserve a rich and unique ecological system. In the past, the[...]

Deposited 260 million years ago,[...]

Agriculture, worldwide, is facing unprecedented challenges. The world’s population is growing and expected to reach 9.8 billion by 2050. Meanwhile, food security is decreasing, as broad regions experience the effects of climate change and resources scarcity. ICL’s products and solutions are key to meeting our future nutritional requirements. It took 10,000 years for the world’s population to reach 1 billion by the year 1800, another 100 years to double to 2 billion and less than another century to triple to[...]
