Today is World Hunger Day.

And in the Negev desert, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev is proving that the most unlikely places can hold the most powerful answers.

In 2021, BGU launched the Moshe Mirilashvili Center for Food Security in the Desert, where scientists are developing vertical farming systems that grow fresh food without soil or rain, and atmospheric water generation technology that pulls clean drinking water directly from the air.

Five years later, the work continues, and BGU Canada is proud to stand behind every breakthrough.

A decade ago, Omer Sasson, alumnus, went to China to learn the language, and never looked back. 🌏

In a mountain village, he made labneh, and opened a street stall the next day. No net profit. But the best entrepreneurship lesson of his life.

That spark took him through pharmaceutical manufacturing, international trade, and eventually Negev Prime, sourcing and quality control across China, Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, and South Korea.

His advice? The world hasn't told you yet what's possible. Don't wait for it to.

That's the Yazamut 360° spirit. Real founders, real lessons, real impact.

🇮🇱 Israeli researchers just answered one of pregnancy's biggest fears.

"Pregnant women should not have to suffer needlessly due to unfounded fears." — Dr. Sharon Daniel, senior pediatrician and lead researcher, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev & Clalit Health Services

From the Negev desert to global impact, BGU research is shaping how the world approaches maternal health.
