Salty Greens

 

 

 

 

Environmental problems like the rising sea level and the decreasing amount of fresh water force us to consider the possible solutions and the cultivation of salty greens IS one of them.

 

 

Due to the rising sea level which results in more brackish farmland, some farms are unable to grow one or more of the traditional crops. For them this kind of cultivation offers new perspectives which may also prove to be useful in developing countries. Here desert land can be used for the growing of sea greens so that possibilities to fight the poverty problem may arise.

 

It is not surprising that the popularity of these greens has greatly increased for over the last few years.
