Saline Agriculture Sustain Conference

The global challenge of climate change significantly impacts food production, especially in areas where arable land is increasingly affected by drought and salinization. Many agricultural areas in Europe and North Africa are suffering droughts, sea level rise and related salinization. Fortunately, research and recent field experiments demonstrate that a combination of selected crop varieties and dedicated soil management can produce favourable yields even on salt-affected soils.

On April 16, 2024 we would like to present in Brussels the results of a three-year SALAD project focused on EU and North Africa on upscaling saline agriculture, including the opportunities and barriers for impact investing. The project partners are from Belgium, Germany, Egypt, Italy, Morocco, and the Netherlands. The conference is supported by the new COST Action SUSTAIN that offers an opportunity to follow up on the outcomes.

We aim to bring together a diverse group of stakeholders such as farming organizations, policymakers, development NGOs and impact investors like development banks, microcredit organizations, and more.
