Interview with Prof. Noam Weisbrod, Director of BIDR

Professor Noam Weisbrod, the director of the Jacob Blaustein Institutes for Desert Research at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, presents his lecture "Water and Food Security in Israel and Beyond: Can We Do Better?" before a roundtable audience at Temple Chai (www.templechai.com/) in Phoenix, AZ.ABOUT THIS LECTURE: The world, stimulated by population growth, climate instability, desertification, and rising lifestyles, is facing severe water and food security problems that are getting worse every year. Facing these issues from its inception, Israel – as a young country constructed on drylands – has been forced to become creative and dynamic in finding ecologically smart solutions. Today scientists at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, located in the southern desert of Israel, are developing technologies that are game-changers – able to enrich desert farming, harness solar energy, recycle water, and much more. This talk will explore how Israel has become a trailblazer in the field and propose solutions that can impact not just Israel, but the world.DONATE: bit.ly/1NmpbsPLearn more about Ben-Gurion University of the Negev HERE: http://in.bgu.ac.il/en/Pages/default.aspxFor more info, please visit: www.facebook.com/valleybeitmidrash/ www.facebook.com/temple.chai https://www.facebook.com/BenGurionUniversity twitter.com/VBMTorah https://twitter.com/bengurionu www.facebook.com/RabbiShmulyYanklowitz/Music: "They Say" by WowaMusik, a public domain track from the YouTube Audio Library.
