Can seawater save our agriculture?
In the face of growing water scarcity caused by climate change and pressure on water resources, desalination is emerging as one of the most promising—but also most controversial—solutions.
In this talk, we will discover how desalinated water, obtained through reverse osmosis, is transforming agricultural irrigation and making it possible to grow crops where it once seemed impossible. However, a key question arises: is it really the definitive solution for the future?
We will analyse the advantages, limitations and adjustments required to use it correctly in farming, as well as its role in agricultural sustainability, particularly in island territories and coastal areas where every drop counts.
A conversation that invites debate on the future of water, agriculture and our ability to adapt to an increasingly thirsty world.
