Zeeland Research Station
Halophyte Research
Advanced genetic research at our test stations, where we study the salt tolerance of crops like samphire and saline potatoes.
Dhanya International breeds halophytes for Dutch agriculture. Our research in Zeeland develops potatoes and grains that thrive on saline soil, as a response to rising sea levels.
A visual journey through our research on salt-tolerant crops for the future of Dutch coastal agriculture
Zeeland Research Station
Advanced genetic research at our test stations, where we study the salt tolerance of crops like samphire and saline potatoes.
Genetic Modification
Developing new potato varieties that thrive on saline soil, a direct response to rising sea levels in coastal areas.
Field Trials
Practical trials with grains bred for saline conditions, to ensure food security in coastal agricultural areas.
Sustainable Solution
Our vision for a resilient agricultural system that utilizes saline lands, driven by innovative plant breeding.
We develop solutions that make Dutch coastal agriculture resilient to salinization.
Through genetic breeding, we create potato and grain varieties that thrive excellently on saline soil, without yield loss.
Halophyte breedingIn our test stations in Zeeland, we test the resilience of crops, as a direct response to rising sea levels.
Practice-orientedOur solutions enable agriculture on marginal lands, thereby preserving valuable freshwater resources.
Resource conservationOur expertise in saline agriculture shares and implements the latest insights directly with Dutch farmers.
