Utilization of saline soil and water resources through saline agriculture systems, such as Haloculture, is necessary to provide the escalating demand for human food. However, despite acceptable research and commercial activities, saline agriculture systems still have not played a major role in expansion of sustainable agriculture in salt-affected regions of under-developed countries. This is mainly due to inadequate attention to the needs and potentials of human societies in salt-affected ecosystems. The objective of this paper is to introduce and describe Haloengineering as a practical solution for successful implementation of Haloculture in sustainable development of salt-affected ecosystems. Haloculture is sustainable use of the services and potentials of saline environments for manufacture of useful products. Haloculture conforms to the concepts and objectives of Water-Energy-Food Nexus, and takes into consideration the importance of providing water and energy along with promotion of food security. It is necessary to integrate the engineering tools and methods into Haloculture, referred to as Haloengineering. Haloengineering is the harmonic, interdisciplinary application of concepts, methods, and tools of all engineering fields, for improvement of living standards in salt-affected regions. By providing water and energy needs, Haloengineering would play a vital role in sustainable development of salt-affected ecosystems through Haloculture.

通过盐业农业系统（例如盐雾养殖）来利用盐碱土壤和水资源，对人类食品的需求不断增长是必要的。然而，尽管进行了可接受的研究和商业活动，但盐碱农业系统仍未在不发达国家的盐灾地区扩展可持续农业方面发挥主要作用。这主要是由于对盐影响的生态系统中人类社会的需求和潜力的关注不足。本文的目的是介绍和描述卤水工程技术，将其作为成功实施卤水养殖在受盐影响的生态系统可持续发展中的实用解决方案。海水养殖是盐碱环境的服务和潜力的可持续利用，以制造有用的产品。卤化养殖符合“水—能源—食品联盟”的概念和目标，并考虑了提供水和能源以及促进粮食安全的重要性。有必要将工程工具和方法集成到Haloculture中，称为Haloengineering。卤水工程是所有工程领域的概念，方法和工具的和谐，跨学科的应用，目的是提高盐灾地区的生活水平。通过满足水和能源的需求，Haloengineering将在通过Haloculture促进受盐影响的生态系统的可持续发展中发挥至关重要的作用。
