The Kasser Joint Institute for Food, Water and Energy Security affords the University of Arizona, the Arava Valley, and Jewish National Fund-USA the opportunity to positively impact vulnerable communities — especially in arid lands — suffering from a lack of food, water, and energy security. To expand advance research capacity and to exchange relevant knowledge and experience between two arid regions of the world (the American southwest and the Israeli south), your gift will not only advance knowledge but will make the world a better place.
