3rd SUSTAIN Webinar 2026 “Salinity Dynamics and Agricultural Adaptation in Emerging Crop Systems”

We are pleased to invite you to our upcoming 3nd Webinar within the SUSTAIN COST Action CA22144 (Sustainable use of Salt-affected Lands).  The webinar on “Salinity Dynamics and Agricultural Adaptation in Emerging Crop Systems” will take place on 20 April 2026 at 10:00 CET.

Our guest experts who will present at the SUSTAIN 2nd Webinar (2026) are the :

1.Islam Frahat, National Research Centre, Egypt, on “From Desert to Agroecosystem: Managing Salinity and Groundwater Sustainability in Egypt’s Emerging Agricultural Landscapes”
2. Parvinderdeep S. Kahlon, Wageningen University & Research, Wageningen, The Netherlands, on “Interactions Between Salinity and Supplemental Far-Red Light Responses in Rice”

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.

COST

COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) is a funding agency for research and innovation networks. Our Actions help connect research initiatives across Europe and enable scientists to grow their ideas by sharing them with their peers. This boosts their research, career and innovation.

COST Action CA22144

Salinisation, the accumulation of water-soluble salts in the soil, is one of the major causes of soil degradation affecting 833 million hectares of land and 1.5 billion inhabitants worldwide. However, these lands can be used by applying saline agriculture, involving soil, water and salt-tolerant crop management methods.
