Help us spread our knowledge about saline agriculture worldwide!

Our salt farm aims to help people in the developing world to grow crops on saline soils. We believe that everyone has the right to healthy food and that it should not matter where you live. With our expertise and dedication, we want to make a difference in the lives of people facing these challenges. We need your support to continue our work. By supporting us, you help us provide people with the resources and knowledge to grow their own crops and build a sustainable future.

Challenge

Salt can be a major problem for agriculture because it can build up in the soil and stunt plant growth. This can lead to reduced crop yields and lower crop quality. High salt concentrations in the soil can prevent plants from absorbing enough water, which can lead to dehydration and damage to the root system. In addition, salt can affect the soil structure and disrupt the nutrient balance. Controlling salt in agriculture often requires the use of special irrigation techniques, drainage and/or soil improvement and salt-tolerant crops to maintain soil quality and increase productivity.

Effects of the problem are worldwide

“In many countries around the world, farmers are the most affected by droughts and they will move. With their cattle, with their children or whatever… And then… they won’t have many places to go. We have only one planet and they can’t go to space.”
- Ovais Sarmad, Deputy Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (2018)
