Hi.

My name is Marissa Bialek, a rising Junior in high school. I love this idea and would like to work with it for science fair but I am a little confused and would like clarity. How exactly could I go about growing plants in saltwater? Are there only certain types? I also read an article about a community who grew rice in the saltwater of the ocean. Please let me know!

The Super Hybrid Facility (SHF) are already implemented in Mexico, now under development. Desalination by distillation utilizing recovered (free) energy and source, in synergy with super hybrid AquaBioHydroponic greenhouses.

Can grow virtually all crops, 24/7/365.

Can you grow tomatoes on a paved parking lot? YES.

Trade Secret Technology.

But desalination is very energy intensive. Not every new plant will be renewably powered, and this is not the time to start adding more large scale fossil energy use!

A genetically engineered plant is the answer??? No way. desalinisation plants…

If we do survive another 200,000 years, (hardly likely, I know!) historians will look back and agree that learning how to solve this was the biggest thing since we discovered how to use fire.

Dreamer that I am, I have always dreamed solar distillation and drip irrigation in areas near the sea, but too dry to farm, as solution to the problem, The build-up of salt in this case is recoverable, as an additional resource flow, but to allow it near the soil is a first order error in a series of errors. You are effectively building mineral concentrators out of the soil and plants, and the opposite effect is the desirable one! Grow Algae for bio-diesel, use cool night air to condense clean water vapors, do something but never, never add mineral bearing water to soil full of plants! Small solar power plants can effectively provide power for pumping, Glass is in surplus as industrial waste, and hard for recyclers to sell! There has to be a good plan in my wanderings here, but putting dirty water on good soil is a gardeners first no-no! I even hate to add chemical salt style fertilizers and would buy radiated-safe sewage from humanure and bio-gas plants first! Remember to compost salt laden plants will be a no-no too! for fear of salting the soil, so, I say no, and prefer to use solar energy and radiated bags of city shiite in my plans!
