Develop Salinity Management for Salt-Affected Agricultural Lands

Soil salinity affects 20% of irrigated land globally, yet salinity management could restore productive agriculture while preventing further salt accumulation. The challenge is developing economically viable salinity management for different soil and climate conditions. Barriers include treatment costs, drainage requirements, and ongoing management needs. Without salinity management, salt-affected lands remain unproductive while salinity continues spreading to new areas. Successful salinity management could restore millions of acres to productive agriculture while preventing further salt damage, potentially reclaiming degraded lands while protecting irrigation systems from salt accumulation.
