Integrated Soil Salinity Mangement for Rice-based Systems (ISSM4RICE) project in Senegal

When salt levels in soil rise too high, rice yields suffer, impacting both food security and farmers' livelihoods in coastal regions. We recently completed a two-day training on salt management theory for local extension officers and farmers. Throughout the rest of the week, they joined field visits to Farmer Field Schools, where they observed how salt-tolerant rice varieties can make a difference

Beyond the technical training, these sessions opened up discussions where farmers and advisors shared practical experiences and solutions. Together, we’re taking concrete steps toward more resilient, locally informed agriculture in Senegal.
