The Yarden River Valley (Hebrew: עֵמֶק הַיַרְדֵּן, Emek HaYarden; Sydalene: ???; Latin: Cultivida), alternately referred to as the Yarden Valley, is the drainage basin of the Yarden River in Northwest Scipia. The Valley begins around the watershed of the Kinneres Sea (the headwaters of the Yarden River) and follows the course of the river until its end in the Great Salt Sea. The Yarden Valley, as defined by the reach of the flooding of river-water and branching off tributaries, encompasses an area approximately 72,416 km sq. The Yarden River, the source and central feature of the Valley, marks the border between Sydalon and Yisrael. Due to religious, national, historical, geostrategic, and agricultural significance and concerns, the Yarden River Valley has been the major factor between the West Scipian Wars and the West Scipian Cold War between Yisrael and Sydalon. The 1973 Yarden Accords formally divided the Yarden Valley between the two powers along the course of the Yarden River under international customary law.

History

Agriculture

The Yarden River Valley is approximately 10 degrees warmer than adjacent mountainous areas (the Judean and TBD Mountains), as well as about 3-6 degrees warmer than nearby coastal land due to global air currents. Its all-season agricultural climate, extremely fertile soils, and ready water supply made it a major region for agriculturical production dating back at least 5,000 years ago. By about 3,000 BCE, produce and crops from the Valley were being exported to other areas of Scipia and potentially across the Periclean Sea to southern Belisaria.

The area's high-yielding and productive farmlands were chronicled repeatedly in the Hebrew Bible. Modern and contemporary methods of farming have significantly amplified the agricultural output of the Valley since the 1850s.

The Yarden River Valley southern bank is known as the "breadbasket" of Yisrael.
