Food security is the challenge of producing food for the human population sustainably while controlling greenhouse gas emissions and preserving water availability. To encourage research related to food and water security, the Moshe Mirilashvili Center for Food Security in the Desert is announcing a yearly call for fellowships to support graduate students (master and Ph.D.) who study food and water security in arid environments.
The fellowship receipts during the Food Security MERIT Symposium, July 2023 with Prof. Daniel Chamovitz, Prof. Rachmileitch and Prof. Lazarovitch.
