One of the many adverse effects of global climate change is the rise of sea levels, which scientists say can increase the salinity level of fresh water reserves. As saline water cannot be used for irrigation, farm fields close to the seashore are lost to agriculture. But a farm in Netherlands has managed to grow healthy and tasty vegetables in soil irrigated with salt water. VOA’s George Putic reports.

i have idea new
will gave you 100.000.000 dollars from salt water
And what about
soil salinity?
Wow
Coconut tree will grow very easily with sea water.
this is bad idea
Smart, who'd a thought.
Thanks for trying to find a solution to the world's problem. Keep up with the good work, I believe there's a way to save those who are affected by these harsh conditions . God bless you. Keep trying new methods until the ultimate goal has been achieved, many lives will be saved . Thank you and God bless you.
Where do idiots get these comments from?? Rising sea levels have had zero effects on fresh water reserves. Rivers and lakes are affected by poor land management like in Australia where millions of acres of land are now useless due to mass land clearing. No fresh water lakes anywhere in the world have become salty due to Rising Sea Levels. This Vid is 100% idiotville stuff.
Onnume puriyala
Bravo
If you keep irrigating with salty water it will eventually become salt, then you got no soil and no plants problem solved.
science doing it again
Where can I order these? Interested in farming
Trees that grow on sea coast such as coconut Jackfruit jamun Cocum Imali mango palash kadamb babool maulashri shirish baobab banyan peeple umber shyamalan Ritha etc.& other species of the world can be tried with SEA WATER .If succeeded,then plants from the sea coast,of the whole world at a time takingadvantage of Sea water.After greening some moles, then move ahead inside the regions .That will fasten the process of greening world.
Off course there must be some other native trees in the world, suitable for climate,soil of the regions, but prefer tall spreading shadows useful trees
Is the crop salt content high to a point that it can be harmful to human health?
There is far simples way to conserve the water:

and this:

Salt builds up if you keep watering with salin water.
This study is very important to fight hunger.
Wow
For how many years before you totally ruin the soil?
They tried that in Russia and now the area that it was done in is a baron desert where nothing will grow
Useless experiment. Salt buildup with time and earth become a large Salt surface
I can’t believe it worked I’m thrilled but also can’t believe that we all for so many years believed the idiots that said you couldn’t put salt sea water on crops my god the world is going to be fed with this and all the worry of sea levels rising will be nothing in the future thank goodness someone had the good sense to try it out and get the results

Use half as much water or make best use of rainfall with subsurface membrane technology. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OQzWfGOYn4
Please explain the agriculture desalination
I drilled water well in Kosovo.
After tested water ,water is salted.
Anyone can tell me can I use for Agriculture.
Hum
China made it possible
Just make the water fresh. Free fresh water for the world

If she did high school physics, when he was 16 your physics teacher show to warm water at 30° C, falling under the vacuum of more water driven vacuum pump.
This is very interesting, as boiled water loses all salts and contaminants like a heavy metals. As it was totally pure water vapour. Dropping a weighted snorkel into the sea will turn the sore water into fresh drinking water. Ideal for irrigation all watering animals. Or drinking!
the narrator sounds like gru from despicable me
Potatoes, onions, carrots and beet soup for the dystopian future, nice

More needs to be so we can use sea water instead of fresh water this way their will be more fresh water for humans and sea water to grow food.
I am from Pakistan n belong to sea coastal District Badin where Salinity issue deprived many.
This Video suggests better comparative crops n methods survive.
Less than 5 ppt there is no problem in cultivation but its difficult in more than five ppt salinity .
Salinity may be brought dawn by use of Gypsum year after year till salinity is comes dawn . Other steps may be control of pollutants and flushing more and more fresh water and use of other aqatic plants besides Reeds and floating plants .
