JOINT PRELIMINARY SCHEDULE
“Bases and Experiences of Biosaline Agriculture in Brazil and in the World”
“Challenges for the sustainable development of irrigated agriculture in an environment of huge uncertainty”
This program will feature Round Tables formed by four specialists from Brazil and other countries, with a moderator and three speakers who, after the presentations and achievements, will also answer the questions of the participants.
During the 5 days we will have poster presentations that will be made available for access to the whole day. As well as the oral presentations that will be divided into four composed by presentations each. SEE HERE the instructions for the presentations.
CONTEXTUALIZATION AND OBJECTIVES
In a scenario of serious socioeconomic impact resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, Brazilian agribusiness stands out as a sector of growth and many opportunities. The realization of INOVAGRI MEETING VIRTUAL 2020 unites efforts by the Brazilian scientific community and foreign research groups to contribute to the improvement of the processes of transforming water into food and fibers, with sustainability and overcoming uncertainties.
The salinity of water and soil is a persistent problem on all continents, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. Worldwide data indicate that 20% of the total cultivated areas (rainfed and irrigated) and 33% of the irrigated agricultural land are affected by the excess of salts in the soil, notably in arid and semi-arid regions. In addition, a significant part of the water sources in these regions, notably groundwater, have high concentrations of salts, which can be a limiting factor for traditional agricultural production. However, the growing demand for food, the scarcity of water resources and the global climate change scenarios indicate the need to use these saline resources. In this sense, Biosaline Agriculture appears as one of the tools to increase food production and generate jobs and income for farmers, especially in dry regions. In this context, the IV Brazilian Symposium on Salinity (IV SBS) brings as its central theme the “Bases and experience of Biosaline Agriculture in Brazil and in the World”. The purpose of the event is to discuss Biosaline Agriculture, considering the conceptual aspects, the advances of this activity in the world and the experiences and potential in the Brazilian semiarid region. It is expected to contribute to the recognition and growth of Biosaline Agriculture in Brazil, which can generate important actions within public policies aimed at agricultural production in this region. Also to contribute to the establishment of new partnerships and exchanges, essential for scientific development and the training of human resources in the country. The IV SBS program will have four Round Tables with speakers from Brazil and other countries that develop work with Biosaline Agriculture. There will also be presentations of research results (oral and poster) by students and professionals enrolled in the event, within the following themes: Characterization, typification and management of brackish waters for productive purposes (plant and animal); Characterization, reclamation and strategies for use of salt-affected soils; Physiological responses and mechanisms of salt tolerance in plants; Potential for the production of halophyte and myohalophyte species in biosaline systems.
