Our Spartina cynosuroides (Big Cordgrass) is absolutely thriving in this saltwater intrusion zone. 🧂
Where traditional crops once grew, saltwater intrusion took over. But we weren’t about to give up on this field. Instead of fighting the rising tides, we pioneered a way to work with them - Saltwater Intrusion Zone (SWIZ) Agriculture. 🌊
By changing our approach to farming, we aren't just adapting to environmental shifts - we are actively healing the land both on the farm and elsewhere through the production of native salt marsh plants. 🚜
This native powerhouse helps stabilize the shoreline, restores the coastal ecosystem, and proves that farming for the future means farming with nature. 🌾
