| Summer 2006 • Agriculture, Food Sciences, and Nutrition During the Israeli war of aggression on Lebanon in July-August 2006, the Faculty of Agriculture and Food Sciences (FAFS) and Healthy Basket (HB) initiated a joint initiative to provide relief support to the displaced from the South and the Southern Suburbs. The Fruits and Vegetables Initiative was designed to provide vitamins and minerals through fresh food rations, in quantities sufficient to satisfy 30% of a child's requirement, as recommended by Dr. Nahla Hwalla from the Department of Food Sciences and Nutrition. Varied fresh products were purchased from the market and packed on Healthy Basket premises by HB staff and volunteers from the displaced community. They were distributed daily by HB to the displaced families in the centers belonging to the AUB catchments (1400 families). Healthy Basket Initiative - FAFS |
