DocumentOther documentThe transformation to a sustainable, high-quality, and low-emission rice sector in Viet Nam: Participatory workshop on climate actions and resilience
Workshop report, Can Tho City, Viet Nam, 29–30 August 2024

No results found.The Mekong River Delta, Viet Nam's primary rice production region, confronts intensifying climate challenges that threaten both agricultural productivity and environmental sustainability. This report documents outcomes from the national event "The transformation to a sustainable, high-quality, and low-emission rice sector in Viet Nam: Participatory workshop on climate actions and resilience" that examined strategic approaches for transforming rice cultivation systems toward high-value, low-emission practices aligned with national green growth objectives. The document outlines a comprehensive investment framework targeting sustainable water management and climate-smart rice production across one million hectares in the delta. The proposed initiative integrates four complementary elements: climate-resilient cultivation techniques, irrigation infrastructure modernization, strengthened market linkages for premium rice varieties, and knowledge transfer mechanisms to support adoption. By applying climate foresight methodology, stakeholders identified context-specific interventions that address projected changes in temperature patterns, water availability, and soil conditions. Part of the Agriculture Sector Readiness project for enhanced climate finance in Southeast Asia, this workshop demonstrates how strategic climate investments can simultaneously enhance production quality, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and improve farmer livelihoods in vulnerable rice-producing regions of the Mekong Delta. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical studyInternational Land Deals in Africa
A joint IIED- FAO- IFAD publication
2009Also available in:
No results found.The first detailed study of large scale land acquisitions in Africa analyses the modalities and likely impacts. The study highlights the possible opportunities (investments, rising agricultural productivity and rural incomes), if things are managed well and warns about the risks (uncompensated loss of land rights for the rural poor) if contracts are not properly negotiated and enforced. It makes recommendations to the main stakeholders to make this new trend useful for food security and rural de velopment. -
