Abstract/Description: | A range of constraints are adversely impacting the sustainability of agricultural systems across the world. While productive agricultural lands are being usurped by municipal and industrial sectors of the economy, freshwater resources face heavy risks of depletion and pollution. Adverse impacts of climate change on soil health, water availability and crop productivity are increasingly becoming noticeable. Given the fact that both prime land and water resources have shrunk over the years, it has become absolutely essential to harness the productivity of degraded lands and low-quality water to meet the growing food and nutritional needs of an expanding global population. Salt-affected soils constitute a significant proportion of global degraded lands; especially in arid, semi-arid and coastal regions where poor-quality saline and sodic water are also a severe obstacle to sustainable crop production. The ICAR-Central Soil Salinity Research Institute (CSSRI) has made earnest efforts since the beginning to address these challenges, to bring degraded and abandoned agricultural lands under crop production. Different salinity-management technologies have become highly popular among the farmers in salt-affected regions of the country. Concerted research efforts are underway to devise novel and low-cost interventions for increasing farmers’ income in saline-affected environments. In this paper, a summary of past breakthroughs, latest developments and emerging constraints is critically analyzed to delineate the future course of action for sustainable salinity management in agriculture. |
