The Salt Doctors

The Salt Doctors, based in the Netherlands, began over 20 years ago with pioneering research on salt‑tolerant crops on the island of Texel. What started as small‑scale experiments has grown into a global mission: helping farmers transform saline challenges into opportunities. Working today in more than 20 countries, they combine applied research with hands‑on training to deliver practical solutions that restore yields, improve livelihoods, and strengthen food security. Their expertise ranges from salinity assessments and salt‑tolerant crops to open‑field hydroponics and scalable climate‑smart practices.

The Salt Doctors and SkillEd are engaged in joint projects on saline agriculture in Vietnam and the Netherlands, advancing practical solutions that strengthen resilience and food security in salt‑affected regions.
