"On paper, genetic engineering is made to look very good, but on the ground it's a tragedy," says Vandana Shiva, a physicist turned environmental activist in Dehradun in Uttarakhand state, who runs Navdanya, a nonprofit that donates more than 3,000 varieties of salt-tolerant rice seeds to farmers.

There are four main types of vegetation: marshland/aquatic, salt-tolerant, open forest and heathland.

Vegetation is mostly absent although scattered salt-tolerant plants, such as pickleweed, iodinebush, black greasewood, and inland saltgrass, occur.

Research focuses on producing new crop varieties that are more drought - and salt-tolerant, have shorter life cycles and require less water.

Gates and McWilliams, in promoting biotechnology as the solution to Africa's food troubles, take a shortsighted view of hunger, seeing it only through the lens of yield shortages and disregarding the ample historical evidence that hunger in developing countries has at least as much to do with world trade, democratic failures, poverty, and conflict as it does with the lack of a salt-tolerant sorghum seed.

Ecoregion 80m is more barren than the Salt Shrub Valleys (80l); vegetation, where present, is sparse and composed of salt-tolerant plants.

In addition to shadscale, other salt-tolerant shrubs, such as Shockley desert thorn and Bailey greasewood, cover the lower basin slopes, and distinguish the Lahontan Salt Shrub Basin (13j) and Tonopah Basin (13u) from other Nevada salt shrub ecoregions.
