Soil salinity under climate change: Challenges for sustainable agriculture and food security

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