Find out how designers are looking for positive solutions to irreversible climate change. How to design in response to rising sea levels and acidification?

The negative effects of climate change in Poland, desertification, reduction of biodiversity, the development of extensive agriculture, ineffective management of water management, acidification of the Baltic Sea and the increasing amount of CO2 in the air, as well as the lowering of the area of northern Poland relative to the Baltic Sea level – these are phenomena that we can use as the opportunity and try to grow valuable plants in the salty Baltic water, an important step that will help relieve degraded soil and reduce the use of freshwater.

During the lecture, the speakers will introduce us to what edible plants can be grown in salt water and whether they are tasty.
