Book (stand-alone)Rice–rice and rice–shrimp production 2017
Also available in:
No results found.Within the framework of supporting sustainable production in a context of rural transformation, this study focuses on smallholder farms in Soc Trang, southern Viet Nam. Its purpose is to highlight and compare women and men’s contributions to two integrated, rice-based farming systems and explore how gender norms affect labour and access to productive inputs, technologies and services: the first is a more traditional production system centred on double rice cropping, while the second adopted an innovative practice which integrates rice and aquaculture (shrimp farming). The conclusion introduces a set of key findings and research, policy and project implementation recommendations. -
Book (stand-alone)Understanding the impact of planted forest on smallholder livestock farmers and their livelihoods in the Greater Mekong Subregion 2021
Also available in:
No results found.Significant forest change in the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) has resulted in deforestation of primary forests and expansion of plantation forests. Although plantation forest development benefits rural communities through income generation and employment opportunities, there have been negative impacts, including reductions in livestock grazing land and collection of non-timber forest products. This study analysed the association between primary forests, plantation forests, grazing areas and large ruminant populations in Cambodia, Lao PDR and Viet Nam. The report showed that livestock populations in the GMS are dynamic and have been under pressure due to enhanced trade and demand in red meat in China and Viet Nam, with a generally positive association between planted forest areas and populations of cattle and buffalo in Lao PDR and Viet Nam indicated. Tree plantations were an important source of income and generally perceived as having a positive impact on rural livelihoods, despite negatively impacts in grazing land availability. It is recommended that integrative approaches that include the collection of household level data to assess the impact on smallholder livelihoods and the collection of regional level data to capture forest changes in future forest assessments, enabling a more comprehensive understanding of the association between primary forests and planted forest on smallholder livestock production. Silvopastoral models have the potential to provide more viable and sustainable alternatives to the current forestry and livestock production models, supporting the transformation to more sustainable agriculture for better production, better environment, and sustainable development goals in GMS countries and beyond. -
Book (series)Report of the National Workshop on the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries and its practical application to coastal aquaculture development in Viet Nam 2004
Also available in:
No results found.The National Workshop on the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries and its Practical Application to Coastal Aquaculture Development in Viet Nam took place in Hué from 3 to 4 October 2003. The Workshop aimed to build awareness among national and provincial stakeholders about the need to develop and implement an Aquaculture Code of Conduct for Viet Nam. Coastal aquaculture in Viet Nam, particularly shrimp culture, has developed rapidly in recent years. Although shrimp farming has brought man y benefits to coastal communities, it is associated with high social and environmental risks.
