Daniel Hillel
Daniel Hillel is an Israeli water and soil scientist. Hillel's development of micro-irrigation techniques has dramatically improved agricultural output and water efficiency in the Negev desert of Israel, across the Middle East, and in chronically dry regions around the world. Throughout his career, Hillel has used science to bridge cultural and religious divides and improve livelihoods in over 30 countries, including Pakistan, Sudan, Iran, Egypt, Jordan, and Cyprus. Most recently, he has been researching ways to adjust agricultural techniques in adaptation to increasing water shortages resulting from climate change. In 2012, he won the World Food Prize.〔(''Drip, Drip, Drip; Daniel Hillel talks about how he helped revolutionize the way farmers water their crops'' ) October 15, 2012 WSJ〕 He is currently working as a senior research scientist at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies at The Earth Institute at Columbia University in New York.〔(Israeli Scientist Named Winner of the World Food Prize ) Kathryn McConnell, June 12, 2012.〕

Daniel Hillel was born in 1930 in Los Angeles, California. His family immigrated to Palestine in 1931. At the age of 9, he was sent to live on a kibbutz and grew up in a farming environment. In 1951, after earning a BA and MA at American universities, he returned to Israel and worked for the Israeli Ministry of Agriculture.〔(Israeli irrigation expert wins World Food Prize, Haaretz )〕 He received his doctorate in soil physics from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.〔(York Lecturer Series ) March 28, 1995.〕
Hillel was a founding member of the Sde Boker kibbutz in the Negev desert, where he worked as a surveyor.〔 It was at Sde Boker that Hillel met then-Prime Minister David Ben Gurion, who retired from his office to live at the new settlement with his wife, Paula.〔(The Man Who Made the Deserts Bloom ) Eric Herschthal, September 8, 2010.〕
