Objectives

The BIOSAFOR research project has the following objectives:

1. To contribute to the development of biosaline agro-forestry systems for various saline environments (local/regional approach) and parallel to that
2. To explore the potentials and options for biomass production in saline environments (globally).

We expect that we will be able to systemize and further develop/improve several agro-forestry strategies for the remediation and economic (re-)use of saline wastelands and saline water resources. Emphasis will be on competitive, cost effective and sustainable solutions and how to create the level playing field necessary to realize these.

The detailed objectives and work programme are available here.
