Advances in Managing Salt-Affected Agro-ecologies

Salt-affected soils (SAS) threaten the livelihoods of over 2.6 billion people worldwide, degrading more than half of the planet's agricultural land and causing billions in economic losses every year. Spread across more than 100 countries and covering over 835 million hectares, these soils present one of the greatest challenges to sustainable agriculture in the era of climate change.This book offers researchers, policymakers, and practitioners a comprehensive resource to tackle this critical issue. It explores the latest smart agriculture practices, innovative reclamation technologies, and sustainable land management strategies that can restore productivity, ensure ecological balance, and help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).By bridging knowledge gaps and sharing cutting-edge solutions from salt-affected agro-ecologies around the globe, this book aims to foster scientific collaboration and practical convergence, empowering communities to transform degraded lands into resilient, profitable, and sustainable ecosystems.
