Scientists are growing crops with salt water that could help save us from starvation

• An ag-tech company has developed an army of resilient crops by growing them with salt water.
• These crops are better at surviving salty soils, which is a growing problem in our warming world.
• Salt-ridden soil affects over two billion acres worldwide, reducing crop yields that people rely on.

Saltwater is bad news for most crops, but not for a series of tomatoes, alfalfa, onions, and rice sprouting in a lab in Israel.
