Halophytes on Saline Soils Using Seawater Irrigation

Salicornia spp. cultivation on saline soils using seawater irrigation supports the circular bioeconomy by integrating aquaculture, farming, and bioprocessing. This sustainable, organic practice uses traditional salinas systems managed manually to control tidal water flow, relying on naturally occurring seeds and seasonal harvesting. The method is ecologically sound, labour-intensive, and produces food, feed, bio-compounds, and bioenergy. Contact: Corinne Lucas, Les douceurs du marais, France.
