What was one of the biggest challenges faced by the jewish settlers who arrived in israel beginning in the 1880s? a-digging wells to provide themselves with adequate drinking water. b-finding the right crops to cultivate in the country’s rich valleys. c-introducing modern agricultural methods to an ancient culture. d-making deserts and swamps into productive land

The answer is, introducing modern agricultural methods to an ancient culture.

The number of Jews migrating to the land of Israel rose significantly between the 13th and 19th centuries, mainly due to a general decline in the status of Jews across Europe. The Jewish settlers had two types of agriculture methods which were the cooperative agricultural community and the collective community method.

cooperative agricultural community was where members worked on individual farms of generally equal size and sometimes pooled labor as well as machinery and marketing, while the collective community agriculture method land and even tools and clothing were owned jointly, and all decisions were made by the community these methods were different from the ancient culture agriculture done in Israel.
