SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURAL SOLUTIONS
25 June - 23 July, 2020 – SEDE BOQER CAMPUS, Israel
The course will provide students access to cutting-edge knowledge and technology related to agricultural practices for improving food and water use worldwide, with an integrated academic perspective; particularly in face of global desertification.
The course offers an opportunity to explore a combination of both 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 between 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.
