Soil salinity is one of the major and widespread challenges in the recent era that hinders global food security and
environmental sustainability. Worsening the situation, the harmful impacts of climate change accelerate the
development of soil salinity, potentially spreading the problem in the near future to currently unaffected regions.
This paper aims to synthesise information from published literature about the extent, development mechanisms,
and current mitigation strategies for tackling soil salinity, highlighting the opportunities and challenges under
climate change situations. Mitigation approaches such as application of amendments, cultivation of tolerant
genotypes, suitable irrigation, drainage and land use strategies, conservation agriculture, phytoremediation, and
bioremediation techniques have successfully tackled the soil salinity issue, and offered associated benefits of soil
carbon sequestration, and conservation and recycling of natural resources. These management practices further
improve the socio-economic conditions of the rural farming community in salt-affected areas. We also discuss
emerging reclamation strategies such as saline aquaculture integrated with sub surface drainage, tolerant microorganisms
integrated with tolerant plant genotypes, integrated agro-farming systems that warrant future
research attention to restore the agricultural sustainability and global food security under climate change
scenarios.
