We are pleased to introduce to you the 4th edition of our newsletter. 

In this edition, you can find a review of the center's international events over the last months and short articles about topics in the agriculture and science field. 

Notably, on July 13th, we held the regional conference on sustainable agriculture in arid regions, which received positive feedback and created future cooperation between researchers and institutions in the middle east, north Africa, and the Gulf region on agriculture and desertification. 

As weather events worldwide are getting worsened and extreme, it is crucial to understand its impacts on agriculture and food production. Such impact is the disappearance of bees in many regions around the world. The research apiary building at the Agricultural research organization (ARO) is a tool in which we, in Israel, use to deepen the research and find new solutions to deal with the environmental problems.

"Meet the graduate" section we introduce to you Dr. Parshant Baksh who participated in one of the international R&D courses on Postharvest Physiology, Pathology and Handling of Fresh Commodities". Dr. Bakshi shares his career path as a scientist and his experiences from the course.

Finally,  we invite you to follow us on social media for more updates on upcoming events.
