*Dear WASWAC members:*

You are kindly invited to join the International Network on Salt-Affected
Soils which was established under the framework of the Global Soil
Partnership, UN Food and Agriculture Organization.

The International Network of Salt-Affected Soils’ (INSAS) vision is to
facilitate the sustainable and productive use of salt-affected soils for
current and future generations.

The work of INSAS will be carried out in four main directions:

(i) *SAS&Assessment*: Mapping, assessing and monitoring of salt-affected
soils;

(ii) *SAS&SSM*: Sustainable management of salt-affected soils;

(iii) *SAS&Crops*: Biosaline agriculture;

(iv) *SAS&Water*: Integrated soil and water management under saline/sodic
conditions.

The expected areas of the joint work are on the Global Assessment of the
Status of Salt-Affected Soils, the Manual on Sustainable Management of
Salt-Affected Soils, the development of the Standard Operating Procedures
for the analysis of salt-affected soils, the Sustainable Water Management
in Saline Environments and others.

The first meeting of INSAS will be held virtually on* April 14-15, 2021,
1.30 – 3.30 pm* *CEST*, the announcement is here:
