This joint program has United Nations involvement.
Brief project description:
Project Salicornia is Phase I of a two-phase project to cultivate a native halophyte (a salt-tolerant euphorb plant, Salicornia bigelovii) in a coastal desert region of northwest Mexico. Phase I is designed to research and demonstrate Salicornia cultivation on 30 hectares of coastal land. The estimated greenhouse gas (GHG) benefits of the project result from carbon accumulation and storage in the sandy soil. If Phase II is initiated, the cultivated crop could potentially serve as a valuable source of biomass material and food (cooking oil and fresh vegetable products), and could generate income for the local population.
