Sustainability at Salicrop
Salicrop’s Contribution to Decarbonization, Climate Adaptation, and Environmental Protection
​Salicrop’s innovative seed enhancement technology directly addresses critical challenges in agriculture caused by climate change. By enabling crops to thrive under extreme conditions such as salinity and heat stress, Salicrop contributes to climate adaptation, environmental sustainability, and resource efficiency, ultimately supporting decarbonization efforts.
​Key Contributions:
​ Climate Adaptation:
-
Resilience in Stressful Environments: Salicrop’s enhanced seeds improve crop performance in saline soils and under heat stress, allowing farmers to maintain productivity despite challenging environmental conditions.​
-
Sustainable Food Security: By stabilizing yields in climate-stressed regions, Salicrop contributes to global food security and reduces the need to expand agricultural lands, which often leads to deforestation.
Environmental Protection:
-
Combatting Soil Degradation: Salicrop’s solutions enable farming in saline soils, reducing the abandonment of degraded land and preventing soil erosion and nutrient loss.
-
Minimized Resource Overuse: By optimizing seed performance, farmers can achieve higher yields with fewer inputs such as water, fertilizers, and land.
Estimated Environmental Impact:
Land Preservation:
By enabling cultivation on previously unusable saline soils, Salicrop prevents deforestation and land conversion, saving up to 1 hectare of land per 10 hectares treated.
​Water Conservation:
Enhanced water-use efficiency reduces irrigation needs by up to 30%, saving significant energy in water extraction and transport.
