Salinity is a serious threat to the environment which reduces agricultural yields, economic outcomes, and soil erosion that eventually leads to land deterioration, particularly in drylands. Moreover, it affects public health to a greater extent. Therefore, it is necessary to have basic knowledge of crop response to salt tolerance and proper management strategies such as constructions of artificial recharge structures, reclamation of soils, and water management methods to boost the global economy by increasing food production and reducing the risk of exposure to salinity‐associated health issues. Earlier literature showed that some cropping patterns, management strategies, and methods of water management have been successfully adopted by the farming community and governing bodies and yielded good results in managing dryland salinity and other salinity‐related problems. Considering the earlier literature as a reference, some future research is required in this field for sustainable development of agricultural livelihood and human ecology in combating salinity.
