The Robert H. Smith Faculty of Agriculture, Food and Environment

As one of the leading Faculties of sustainable agriculture and environmental conservation - and the only one of its kind in Israel - the Smith Faculty stands at the frontlines of the "Green Revolution."

To address the critical need for a combination of sustainable agriculture and environmental protection, Hebrew University has launched an exciting new integrative vision at the Robert H. Smith Faculty. Outstanding teams of scientists have been brought together to work on crucial environmental and agricultural problems. Their interdisciplinary research is being enhanced by new state-of-the-art and renovated facilities, including laboratories, classrooms and climate-controlled greenhouses.
