The webinars seek to:
- build a shared knowledge base to improve water and soil management and enhance crop production on salt-affected lands;
- showcase the full environmental, social, and economic value of salt-affected lands and saline landscapes; and
- develop targeted policy frameworks for effective salinisation management, positioning saline agriculture as a complementary component of the European food-security agenda for both coastal and inland salt-affected areas.
