2026 SUSTAIN Webinar Series

Sustain Cost Action is organizing a series of webinars aimed at building a global, transdisciplinary network of scientific experts and engaged stakeholders in salinity research. The initiative addresses food security, sustainability, and the escalating climate crisis by fostering knowledge exchange and collaboration.

The webinars seek to:

• build a shared knowledge base to improve water and soil management and enhance crop production on salt-affected lands;
• showcase the full environmental, social, and economic value of salt-affected lands and saline landscapes; and
• develop targeted policy frameworks for effective salinisation management, positioning saline agriculture as a complementary component of the European food-security agenda for both coastal and inland salt-affected areas.
