The Saltland Genie is a concept that has been developed from a substantial body of research and development during the highly successful national Sustainable Grazing on Saline Lands (SGSL) initiative.
The Genie is a magical fellow who will guide you through a series of 4 simple questions and provide recommendations about the usefulness of each of 11 possible productive solutions for your saltland.
These Saltland Solutions have been established as the culmination of the SGSL program, but build on wider work from the CRC for Plant-based Management of Dryland Salinity, the National Land & Water Resources Audit and the National Dryland Salinity Program.
Further investment in saltland research and development is being made by Australian Wool Innovation Ltd, Meat & Livestock Australia, the Grains Research & Development Corporation and the Australian Federal Government through the Future Farm Industries Cooperative Research Centre. The results of this work will be incorporated into the Genie and taken to the saltland world through this website and the Saltland Knowledge Exchange as they become available.
