Biosaline agriculture as an approach to land restoration

This workshop will offer a set of comprehensive modules on land restoration in marginal environments through biosaline agriculture. The program will cover such topics as location-specific techniques for land restoration and stabilization in such environments. It will also provide an overview of the global impacts of climate change on natural vegetation and other things, the importance of crop biodiversity and integrated cropping systems, sustainable land and water resources management measures, and other important topics related to marginal environments such as salinity management. Moreover, it will present the options of using salt-tolerant food and feed crops and agroforestry systems for soil rehabilitation and salinity mitigation as well as for saving freshwater resources.
