Short Course Description
Following the introductory course on Food Security, we are offering an additional course, focusing on water and wastewater problems in Israel, with climate changes and weather instability, the solution to meet these challenges, and their importance for Israeli agriculture.
During the course, you will have 3 daily tours, during which you will experience the agricultural aspects of Israel on-site, as well as creative solutions and future plans for the Israeli water and wastewater economy and how it facilitates agriculture.
