Hej, my name is Liv, i am an 18-year-old danish student exited to graduate next year (2025). Ever since i was little i have had a love for biologi, especially marine biologi. The sea and the animals living in it will always fascinate me.
Besides school i love to be at the sea, wakeboarding, surfing and playing in the water. I love to go on ski vacations, for skiing and snowboardning. I am a beekeeper aswell, and love the smell and sound of bees, honey, flowers and all around summer.
Tell us what the water concern in your country is!In Denmark the water concern is cause by miygrating contaminated water coming into our groundwater. Farmars are allowed are allowed to use pestisides, that wash down to our ground water with the rain. Floodings caused by climate change also contribute to worsen water quality.
This is what I think is one of the solutions for a sustainable future:We want to spare the groundwater that we have in Denmark by instead using seawater to nourish plants and fields.
Genetic Modification of Plants for Increased Salt Tolerance
This project explores genetically modifying crops to be irrigated with seawater, conserving groundwater. It reviews scientific evidence on groundwater challenges, climate change impacts on agriculture, and the development of salt-tolerant plants (halophytes). The study discusses genetic modification methods, including Agrobacterium Tumefaciens and particle gun techniques for gene transfer. Legal and soil salinity considerations are examined, along with regulations and historical soil issues. Experiments include testing osmosis in cucumbers, irrigating Pilea plants with saltwater to challenge glycophytic tolerance, and confirming soil salt accumulation after irrigation. All which paves the way for there to be produced a salt water tolerant crop.
