June 12, 2024 Soil salinisation in Europe: A growing problem with serious consequences oil salinization in Europe is not an isolated issue; it is deeply interconnected with overall soil health and has broad implications for agriculture, biodiversity, and the economy. Soil health is fundamental for maintaining agricultural productivity and ecosystem stability. Without healthy soils, farmers’ ability to produce food sustainably is severely compromised. Salinization, by increasing the concentration of salts in the soil, degrades its structure, reduces its fertility, and makes it more susceptible to erosion, thereby jeopardizing its long-term productive capacity. The NOVASOIL project represents a crucial initiative to address these challenges. NOVASOIL focuses on innovation and the implementation of sustainable solutions to improve soil management and mitigate the effects of salinization. This project promotes sustainable agricultural practices, advanced desalination techniques, and the development of salt-tolerant crops. Additionally, it aims to enhance the efficiency of irrigation water use, which is essential for reducing the accumulation of salts in the soil. Blog 0 6 min read
