The working group on “Saline Agriculture”, under the framework of WASAG, organizes a webinar titled "Saline Agriculture: Scaling up Opportunities and Challenges" to share knowledge and experience on global projects related to saline farming, as well as smart digital approaches and solutions.
Under the COVID-19 pandemic, unprecedented challenging conditions push the focus on how the local food production could be enhanced by utilizing low-quality water and land resources, such as brackish groundwater and salt-affected soils.
