Can you figure out where there used to be trees ? That's now wheat farms mostly. Due to the tree removal salination has ruined 2 million hectares of what is now essential wasteland. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salinity_in_Australia
Its when the Samphire starts to die that you know your in shit street.
Find the australian equivalent.
Pretty easy to find.
Eucalyptus camaldulensis (River Red Gum) is one that is great in high saline environments.
Eucalyptus leucoxylon (Yellow Gum), Eucalyptus melliodora (Yellow Box), Eucalyptus microcarpa (Grey Box), Eucalyptus ovata (Swamp Gum), Eucalyptus viminalis (Manna Gum), Acacia melanoxylon (Blackwood), Allocasuarina verticillata (Drooping Sheoak) Are all good in medium saline environments.
So have your pick.
In the long run, it would probably be wise to introduce a profitable salt-sequestering crop into regular rotations, just to keep marginal lands from becoming unfarmable.
That's horrifying.
