&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;LONDON: &lt;/em&gt;Large areas of rich irrigated and fertile land in the Indo-Gangetic basin is being lost daily to salt damage, confirms the UN.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Crop yield losses on salt-affected lands for wheat, rice, sugarcane and cotton grown on salt-affected lands could be 40%, 45%, 48%, and 63%, respectively.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Employment losses could be 50-80 man-days per hectare, with an estimate 20-40% increase in human health problems and 15-50% increase in animal health problems in India&#039;s Indo-Gangetic Basin.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Scientists have now confirmed that salt-spoiled soils worldwide is 20% of all irrigated lands, an area equal to France.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
According to the UN University&#039;s Canadian-based Institute for Water, Environment and Health, every day for more than 20 years, an average of 2,000 hectares of irrigated land in arid and semi-arid areas across 75 countries have been degraded by salt.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Today an area the size of France is affected, about 62 million hectares (20%) of the world&#039;s irrigated lands, up from 45 million hectares in the early 1990s.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Salt-degradation occurs in arid and semi-arid regions where rainfall is too low to maintain regular percolation of rainwater through the soil and where irrigation is practiced without a natural or artificial drainage system.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Irrigation practices without drainage management trigger the accumulation of salts in the root zone, affecting several soil properties and reducing productivity.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;To feed the world&#039;s anticipated nine billion people by 2050, and with little new productive land available, it&#039;s a case of all lands needed on deck,&amp;quot; says principal author Manzoor Qadir, assistant director at the Institute. &amp;quot;We can&#039;t afford not to restore the productivity of salt-affected lands&amp;quot;.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Zafar Adeel, director of UNU-INWEH, notes the UN Food and Agriculture Organization projects a need to produce 70% more food by 2050, including a 50% rise in annual cereal production to about 3 billion tonnes.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;LONDON: &lt;/em&gt;Large areas of rich irrigated and fertile land in the Indo-Gangetic basin is being lost daily to salt damage, confirms the UN.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Crop yield losses on salt-affected lands for wheat, rice, sugarcane and cotton grown on salt-affected lands could be 40%, 45%, 48%, and 63%, respectively.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Employment losses could be 50-80 man-days per hectare, with an estimate 20-40% increase in human health problems and 15-50% increase in animal health problems in India&#039;s Indo-Gangetic Basin.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Scientists have now confirmed that salt-spoiled soils worldwide is 20% of all irrigated lands, an area equal to France.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
According to the UN University&#039;s Canadian-based Institute for Water, Environment and Health, every day for more than 20 years, an average of 2,000 hectares of irrigated land in arid and semi-arid areas across 75 countries have been degraded by salt.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Today an area the size of France is affected, about 62 million hectares (20%) of the world&#039;s irrigated lands, up from 45 million hectares in the early 1990s.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Salt-degradation occurs in arid and semi-arid regions where rainfall is too low to maintain regular percolation of rainwater through the soil and where irrigation is practiced without a natural or artificial drainage system.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Irrigation practices without drainage management trigger the accumulation of salts in the root zone, affecting several soil properties and reducing productivity.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;To feed the world&#039;s anticipated nine billion people by 2050, and with little new productive land available, it&#039;s a case of all lands needed on deck,&amp;quot; says principal author Manzoor Qadir, assistant director at the Institute. &amp;quot;We can&#039;t afford not to restore the productivity of salt-affected lands&amp;quot;.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Zafar Adeel, director of UNU-INWEH, notes the UN Food and Agriculture Organization projects a need to produce 70% more food by 2050, including a 50% rise in annual cereal production to about 3 billion tonnes.
&lt;/p&gt;

Scientists have now confirmed that salt-spoiled soils worldwide is 20% of all irrigated lands, an area equal to France.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
According to the UN University&#039;s Canadian-based Institute for Water, Environment and Health, every day for more than 20 years, an average of 2,000 hectares of irrigated land in arid and semi-arid areas across 75 countries have been degraded by salt.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Today an area the size of France is affected, about 62 million hectares (20%) of the world&#039;s irrigated lands, up from 45 million hectares in the early 1990s.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Salt-degradation occurs in arid and semi-arid regions where rainfall is too low to maintain regular percolation of rainwater through the soil and where irrigation is practiced without a natural or artificial drainage system.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Irrigation practices without drainage management trigger the accumulation of salts in the root zone, affecting several soil properties and reducing productivity.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;To feed the world&#039;s anticipated nine billion people by 2050, and with little new productive land available, it&#039;s a case of all lands needed on deck,&amp;quot; says principal author Manzoor Qadir, assistant director at the Institute. &amp;quot;We can&#039;t afford not to restore the productivity of salt-affected lands&amp;quot;.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Zafar Adeel, director of UNU-INWEH, notes the UN Food and Agriculture Organization projects a need to produce 70% more food by 2050, including a 50% rise in annual cereal production to about 3 billion tonnes.

&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;LONDON: &lt;/em&gt;Large areas of rich irrigated and fertile land in the Indo-Gangetic basin is being lost daily to salt damage, confirms the UN.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Crop yield losses on salt-affected lands for wheat, rice, sugarcane and cotton grown on salt-affected lands could be 40%, 45%, 48%, and 63%, respectively.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Employment losses could be 50-80 man-days per hectare, with an estimate 20-40% increase in human health problems and 15-50% increase in animal health problems in India&#039;s Indo-Gangetic Basin.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Scientists have now confirmed that salt-spoiled soils worldwide is 20% of all irrigated lands, an area equal to France.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
According to the UN University&#039;s Canadian-based Institute for Water, Environment and Health, every day for more than 20 years, an average of 2,000 hectares of irrigated land in arid and semi-arid areas across 75 countries have been degraded by salt.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Today an area the size of France is affected, about 62 million hectares (20%) of the world&#039;s irrigated lands, up from 45 million hectares in the early 1990s.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Salt-degradation occurs in arid and semi-arid regions where rainfall is too low to maintain regular percolation of rainwater through the soil and where irrigation is practiced without a natural or artificial drainage system.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Irrigation practices without drainage management trigger the accumulation of salts in the root zone, affecting several soil properties and reducing productivity.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;To feed the world&#039;s anticipated nine billion people by 2050, and with little new productive land available, it&#039;s a case of all lands needed on deck,&amp;quot; says principal author Manzoor Qadir, assistant director at the Institute. &amp;quot;We can&#039;t afford not to restore the productivity of salt-affected lands&amp;quot;.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Zafar Adeel, director of UNU-INWEH, notes the UN Food and Agriculture Organization projects a need to produce 70% more food by 2050, including a 50% rise in annual cereal production to about 3 billion tonnes.

&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;LONDON: &lt;/em&gt;Large areas of rich irrigated and fertile land in the Indo-Gangetic basin is being lost daily to salt damage, confirms the UN.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Crop yield losses on salt-affected lands for wheat, rice, sugarcane and cotton grown on salt-affected lands could be 40%, 45%, 48%, and 63%, respectively.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Employment losses could be 50-80 man-days per hectare, with an estimate 20-40% increase in human health problems and 15-50% increase in animal health problems in India&#039;s Indo-Gangetic Basin.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Scientists have now confirmed that salt-spoiled soils worldwide is 20% of all irrigated lands, an area equal to France.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
According to the UN University&#039;s Canadian-based Institute for Water, Environment and Health, every day for more than 20 years, an average of 2,000 hectares of irrigated land in arid and semi-arid areas across 75 countries have been degraded by salt.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Today an area the size of France is affected, about 62 million hectares (20%) of the world&#039;s irrigated lands, up from 45 million hectares in the early 1990s.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Salt-degradation occurs in arid and semi-arid regions where rainfall is too low to maintain regular percolation of rainwater through the soil and where irrigation is practiced without a natural or artificial drainage system.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Irrigation practices without drainage management trigger the accumulation of salts in the root zone, affecting several soil properties and reducing productivity.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;To feed the world&#039;s anticipated nine billion people by 2050, and with little new productive land available, it&#039;s a case of all lands needed on deck,&amp;quot; says principal author Manzoor Qadir, assistant director at the Institute. &amp;quot;We can&#039;t afford not to restore the productivity of salt-affected lands&amp;quot;.
