Abstract

 China has numerous salt lakes, and the development of salt lake agriculture is of realistic and strategic significance in desert control, ecological environment protection, economic growth in the west, and development of featured agricultures in semi-arid and arid regions. As world population grows, food and fresh water shortage is aggravated, and thus developing the salt lake agriculture becomes essential in guaranteeing human food security. Strategic studies on the salt lake agriculture becomes especially urgent. This paper depicts recent achievements of the salt lake agriculture and identifies the problems in salt lake agriculture development. Finally, suggestions are proposed on innovation-driven development of the salt lake agriculture, including enrolling it into national science and technology planning, and zoning saline-alkali land in salt lake basins by functions.
