Facts & Figures
BIDR researchers and students investigate ways to meet global challenges related to food security, water scarcity and clean energy.
Albert Katz International School for Desert Studies: 300 students from 20 countries, 900 alumni from 45 countries.
By 2050, there will be 9 billion people in the world. The farmland needed to feed them lies in arid and semi-arid regions.
41% of Earth’s landmass is Drylands, and is home to more than 2 billion people.
Water is one of the earth’s most crucial resources, but it is finite.
