BGU-FOR On the Bar: Informal roundtable discussions
The Food systems, One Health, and Resilience (FOR) approach is a valuable platform for framing
complex health and food systems challenges the world currently faces.
The Ben Gurion University
FOR Initiative aims to address these challenges through multidisciplinary research spanning the
inter-relationship between health, food systems, environment, and resilience.
BGU-FOR will
explore the connections and impact of food and ecosystems on nutrition quality, equity and
security, the molecular factors contributing to food systems and health, and the relationship
between food systems, human and animal health, and resilience in the fact of global emergencies.
