About the Project
HALO-FORCE explores the potential of three wild edible halophytes, Salicornia spp., Salsola soda and Beta maritima, as climate-resilient crops able to make agriculture more sustainable while contributing to the conservation and the restoration of Mediterranean wetland ecosystems.
The project draws on advanced technologies, among them remote sensing, artificial intelligence, multi-omics approaches and sustainability assessment. It brings together twelve partners from eight Mediterranean countries and was officially launched at an online kick-off meeting on 29 April 2026.
