Tex.
Agric. Code Section 45.001
Legislative Findings; Purpose
(a)
The legislature finds that Texas and Israel have many interests in common. They face many of the same difficulties in agriculture; the geography of both areas produces semiarid climatic conditions; there is present in both areas a rising demand for a limited supply of water coupled with increasing pressures to minimize the use of energy in all aspects of agriculture. Scientific and technological cooperatives already produce close ties between the two areas while engaging in binational projects for scientific and industrial research and development.(b)
The purpose of this chapter is to:(1)
establish a program to promote and support practical and applied agricultural research and development that will result in mutual benefit to Texas and Israel and will help to provide solutions to food and fiber production problems wherever they exist, particularly those relating to water conservation; and(2)
establish a program of mutual cooperation that will foster the development of trade, mutual assistance, and business relations between Texas and Israel.
