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.
