saline agriculture

Saline agriculture is a farming method that uses salty or brackish water—water with higher salt content—rather than fresh water to grow crops. This approach enables cultivation in areas with limited freshwater supply or saline soils, utilizing plants that are naturally tolerant to salt conditions. It can help expand arable land, improve food security, and reduce environmental impacts by conserving freshwater resources. By selecting appropriate salt-tolerant crops and managing salinity levels, saline agriculture offers a sustainable option for producing crops in challenging environments.
