A scientific breakthrough by Israel could change the future of global food security and help feed the world in the future. 🌾

Researchers at Tel Aviv University have identified a gene in wild wheat that may make it possible to produce larger and more nutritious grains containing higher levels of protein, iron, and zinc, paving the way for the development of more climate-resilient products and increased global food security.

Dr. Zakaria Habar led this research before he was killed in the war in Gaza. He was a researcher, a scientist, and a reserve soldier in the Israeli army, so his scientific contribution is a legacy that reflects Israel’s spirit of innovation and has promising potential that may benefit millions of people around the world.
