Nonprofit Organization Management - Rishon LeTsiyon, Center District, Israel
The primary mission of BARD is to bring together US and Israeli scientists to jointly address key agricultural challenges that concern both countries. Fostering this collaboration serves as a force multiplier, and the synergy generates far greater achievements than would have been attained with scientists working separately.BARD's vision is to fund and promote the translation of scientific excellence into agricultural practice. This is accomplished by supporting joint US-Israel applicable agricultural research & development (R&D).The majority of BARD-funded research projects focus on increasing agricultural productivity, particularly in hot and arid climates, and emphasize plant and animal health, food quality and safety, and environmental issues. BARD also supports international workshops and offers fellowships for postdoctoral research, senior research scientists and graduate students.There is an extensive overlap between the challenges facing US and Israeli farmers. Drought, increasingly extreme weather conditions, population growth and diminishing arable land due to urbanization and overuse are only a few of these shared concerns. Driven by necessity, Israel has made great strides in entrepreneurial innovations since its establishment, complementing the vast resources and advanced technologies available in the US. BARD serves as a catalyst, lighting a spark that fires the brilliant minds of US and Israeli scientists, and providing a workspace that synergizes collaborative agricultural research.
