"Food production on present and future saline soils deserves the world's attention particularly because food security is a pressing issue, millions of hectares of degraded soils are available worldwide, fresh water is becoming increasingly scarce, and the global sea-level rise threatens food production in fertile coastal lowlands. Future of Sustainable Agriculture in Saline Environments aims to showcase the global potential of saline agriculture. Covering essential topics, such as policy and awareness, soil management, future crops and genetic developments, all supplemented by case studies that show how this knowledge has been applied. This book creates an overview of current research themes and practical cases focused on enhancing food production on saline lands"-- Provided by publisher.
