Sea level rise and coastal inundation are changing the agricultural landscape around the world. Fortunately, saltwater irrigation has been studied for decades, and experiments have succeeded while research and experiments have grown and demonstrated the viability of some plants such as halophytes that have the potential to change our conventional food landscape. In this episode we explore questions related to saltwater irrigation such as: what type of new crops can be developed for sustainable harvest, and what techniques can be invented to succeed without additional environmental damage?
