Sustainable Agriculture Solutions - Summer Program

The course will use an integrated academic perspective to provide students access to cutting-edge knowledge and technology related to agricultural practices for improving food and water use worldwide, particularly in the face of global desertification.

Additionally, it offers selected students exceptional opportunities to pursue a combination of basic and applied research in agricultural and environmental topics. The course is composed of three tracks: soil and irrigation, plants under abiotic stress, and aquaculture, with emphasis on practical aspects and integration among them. Field and laboratory work will provide hands-on experiences to be presented by the students in a concluding seminar.

The Program will include cultural events during which students will have the opportunity to socialize with local students. Weekly tours will expose the students to Israeli culture and history.
