It is important to test the soil for salinity issues to determine if it is indeed salt accumulation that is causing the problem & if it is, to what extent. Our tutorials help you to perform a simple test to measure soil salinity in farmlands. ow.ly/y9xP50jMZXc #salinization

Growing lettuce using saline water in a Hydroponic system. These varieties are performing great with a salt concentration of 7 dS/m. This approach helps to conserve (fresh) water and a similar system can be suitable for many areas around the world. #salinefarming #hydroponics

Our salt tolerant carrots (left) are performing well in Kenya, in comparison with the local variety (right). The potential for upscaling is looking good. Great to work with Delphy and Nectaerra, with support of Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland and the #SBIR program. #kenya #salinefarming

We are attending the kickstart of a new project - SIMBA (Sustainable Innovation of MicroBiome Applications in Food Systems). Together with 22 partners, we will work to harness the complex soil & marine microbial communities for the sustainable production of food. #H2020 Horizon 2020

Today a follow-up meeting of the Dutch water sector on the scoping mission to Jordan last month will take place. In his vlog Ruben reflects on the mission #Drought #Agrifood #WaterCrisis RVO Internationaal NL in Jordan youtube.com/watch?v=dvqTX2…

With Saline agriculture methods, you can use brackish water together with fresh water to grow salt-tolerant crop varieties of carrots, cabbages, potatoes, onions, beets, etc. We can save good amount of freshwater & redirect it for other uses. #foodsecurity ow.ly/w7Za50jPv4N

One of our mission is to spread global awareness of saline agriculture, in order to do so, we make basic information and soil testing methods available in different languages. Read the basic info in #Bengali. ow.ly/83ir50jPu7D #India #bangladesh #foodsecurity

Saline Farming won the Dragon Dens pitch on the scoping mission to Jordan. A good start for us for rolling out our global network of Saline-Farming trainingcenters and share valuable knowledge on growing tasty and healthy food. #RVO_Nederland#salineagriculture#WaterforJordan

Equiping the small-holder farmers around the world with climate smart agricultural methods can help combat malnutrition and hunger. Saline agriculture is one such method that offers ways to improve and re-use lands degraded by soil salinity. #foodsecurity ow.ly/6aTj50jP6JA

We prefer to view this Blue Monday positively! For a world problem as salinsation we see a solution in saline agriculture. We know that it works and can be a solution for food shortages. Have a nice blue Monday! #BlueMonday #blueoysterplant #salinefarming #salineagriculture

Saline Farming started an agricultural project in september 2018 in Kenya. The results of this harvest were obtained in December and were more than promising, more than double! This creates opportunities for the future of the farmers in Kenya. DelphyNL #salinefarming #kenya
