ProjectEmergency Support to Restore the Livelihoods of the Poor Farming Poultry Producers Affected by the El Niño-Induced Drought and Salt-Water Intrusion Effect - TCP/VIE/3605 2020
Also available in:
No results found.Against the backdrop of one of the worst droughts in history, attributed to the El Niño event, a total of 52 of the 63 provinces (83 percent) of Viet Nam were affected by drought in 2016, and 18 provinces were declared to be in a State of Emergency at the peak of the drought in May 2016. The latest assessments (in October 2016) showed that in the three most affected regions of the country, namely the Central Highlands, Central and Mekong Delta regions, the lack of water (also as a result of salt intrusion) caused significant damage/losses, 45 percent of which were related to the 2016 main winter/spring paddy crops and 50 percent to the livestock, mainly poultry, pigs, sheep and goats. National/local authorities and farmers, who had not experienced this level of severity of drought and salinity intrusion before, were not sufficiently prepared to address the situation. The project worked towards restoring the agriculturebased livelihoods of poor farming households in the six most affected provinces, through the distribution of livestock and animal feed, and the provision of good husbandry and biosecurity training to extension workers and affected farmers. -
DocumentUse of Salt-Tolerant Rice Varieties to counteract impacts of sea surges and saltwater intrusion, Philippines 2013
Also available in:
No results found.There are 400 000 ha of coastal saline soils in the Philippines, of which 100 000 ha are in mangroves, 175 000 ha are in fishponds and 125 000 ha are idle. Due to changes in the climatic and other environmental factors / parameters, Bicol’s coastal region is undergoing and experiencing various changes in the cropping pattern. About 70 000 ha of rice production area in Bicol and Cagayan Valley are potentially affected by saline water intrusion, thereby needing special attention and improvement (PhilRice, 2001). Rice areas along the nipa palm in Rizal and Bagacay, are usually affected by saline intrusion. Farmers in these areas normally experienced low rice production, because the present rice varieties used are suitable for the increasing saline-stressed environment, especially during may (end of dry season) and in December. The wider dissemination of a selected salt tolerant variety, namely NSIC Rc-108, was tested in 3 pilot sites (Rizal and Bagacay, Gubat, Sorsogon) between June and October 2010 (wet season) in lowland irrigated farming systems in Bicol, the Philippines.
