“…Respond-ents in this study are salt farmers who carry out production by applying a profit-sharing system. Observation is a complex process composed of various processes and the most important is the observation process (Qureshi, 2017). Field observations were carried out to observe the real conditions in the field in order to explore information about the system of production sharing between sharecropper and landowners in salt production in Madura so that it is known which pattern is most beneficial for the sharecropper.…”

This study aimed to determine and analyze the level of income generating of salt farmers in Madura. This research was conducted with a qualitative approach. The qualitative approach in this study was to match empirical reality with the prevailing theory using descriptive methods. This research was located in the Sumenep Regency. Data collection techniques carried out by observation, interview, and documentation. Data analysis was performed descriptively-qualitatively. The results showed that the income of salt farmers in Madura was determined from the pattern of profit-sharing that had been chosen, namely the cost of salt production would be borne by landowners and sharecropper where the amount depended on the agreed pattern of profit-sharing. There were three pattern of profit-sharing between landowners and sharecropper in salt production, namely the pattern of dividing two (paron), the pattern of sharing for three (telon), and the pattern for five (leman). study aimed to determine and analyze the level of income generating of salt farmers in Madura.

“…The advantages of bio-drainage as an eco-friendly technique for combating waterlogging and salinity are cost-effective strategies as compared to the expensive conventional drainage systems (Qureshi, 2017). However, to make it attractive for farmers, longterm objectives need to be combined with short term incentives.…”

Soil salinization is one of the major constraints in achieving food security and environmental degradation in Ethiopia. Restoration of salt-affected lands into productive lands and protection of newly developed areas from the spread of salinity is therefore of paramount importance. In high salinity areas where technical solutions to soil rehabilitation are expensive and time consuming and growth of normal field crops is restricted, use of bioremediation methods including planting halophytic forages could bring these soils back into production. This paper identifies different causes of salinity and characterizes soils based on severity of salinity levels. The paper suggests that biosaline agriculture is an economical and effective approach to use unproductive lands for growing different food and fodder crops in Ethiopia. This approach, if prudently adapted, can help in improving livelihood of rural and pastoral communities of the salt-affected areas by enhancing feed and fodder production. The paper has recommended many unexplored and unexploited genetic variation that can be harnessed to improve the salt tolerance of field crop species. Productivity of marginal lands can be maximized for field crops and fodder species and varieties that can tolerate soil salinization and poor irrigation water quality.

“…(Koonin 2006;Kurbanov et al 2007;Milbrandt & Overend 2009;Kang et al 2013). In recent years, there has been an increased interest in the potential use of ML for biofuels, food security or carbon sequestration (Gelfand et al 2013;Kang et al 2013;Emery et al 2017;Qureshi 2017). This trend has led to an increase in the number of studies identifying and evaluating the use of ML.…”

In recent years, Remote Sensing (RS) and its derived products have been used as a key tool for the detection, monitoring,management and future use of Marginal Lands (ML). Currently, there is no single, universally accepted definition of theterm and there is a wide variety of synonyms. In this paper, we conduct a compilation of synonyms and meanings thatencompass the term, as well as propose a definition. To reach this objective, an overview of the state of the art of ML isdone, visualising trends by science maps, based on bibliographic data of established research journals, found in GoogleScholar, Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus search engines. The bibliographic review carried out shows that the study ofML has traditionally been carried out with an ad hoc basis focused on the objective to be achieved, this aspect and otherknowledge gaps are discussed to analyse the global study of ML. Due to the broad spectrum of uses in which ML havebeen studied, the work has been focused on RS for monitoring and characterizing ML, focusing on two different aspects:(i) satellite monitoring of marginal lands; and (ii) determining carbon sequestration potential of marginal lands using remotesensing.
