ICL Celebrates 100 Years of Successful Journey in Innovation & Sustainable Agriculture
The ICL Growing Solutions group celebrated its 100 years of a successful journey in innovation and agri-sustainability on Thursday. The ICL team marked the occasion in a unique way, hosting a hundred field days and farmer meetings across India. The field days and farmer meets were held with the objective of providing solutions, products, demonstrations, and knowledge sharing. ICL Group Ltd. was founded during the British Mandate a century ago by Moshe Novomeysky, a pioneering Zionist businessman, who recognized a chance to mine potash in the Dead Sea's desolate and sun-baked wilderness. Novomeysky was an entrepreneur, engineer, and explorer. His inspiration came from Theodor Herzl's description of the Dead Sea as a potential industrial base in his book AltNeuLand.
