Exploring the association between agricultural production systems and household diets in Viet Nam
The government of Viet Nam promotes an integrated and diversified production system that focuses on the symbiotic relationship of livestock, aquaculture, and fruits and vegetables (F&V), locally known as Vuon Ao Chuong (VAC).
The Vietnamese fisheries sector, including both marine fisheries and aquaculture, has made spectacular progress in recent years, becoming one of the top seafood producing and exporting countries in the world.
Regulatory options to improve seed systems for vegetatively propagated crops in developing countries
In many developing countries, smallholder farmers cultivating vegetatively propagated crops (VPCs) have limited access to quality planting material. This constraint can limit both the yield of and returns on VPC cultivation.
Many developing-country farmers cultivating vegetatively propagated crops (VPCs)—crops such as cassava, potato, sweetpotato, and yam—face constrained access to quality planting material.
Strengthening institutional capacity for disaster management and risk reduction through climate-resilient agriculture
The frequency of natural disasters, especially storms and floods, has been increasing globally over the last several decades.
This report’s purpose is to help Vietnam policy makers and stakeholders prepare for future El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events.
A model to examine farm household trade-offs and synergies with an application to smallholders in Vietnam
Three new modules related to budget, labor, & human nutrition for the ‘FarmDESIGN” model position the farming enterprise within the farm household.
Disentangling determinants of insecticide use to manage production, food security, and health risks in Cambodia and Vietnam: evidence from household surveys and risk-assessment experiments
Insect pest problems are among the main causes of crop yield losses in global agriculture. Insecticides protect households from food-security and income shocks, but can induce human health and environmental risks.
Decision‐making for systemic water risks: Insights from a participatory risk assessment process in Vietnam
Here, we evaluate the use of causal modeling and participatory risk assessment to developnational policy on systemic water risks.
While Asia has the world’s fastest-growing economy, 29 of 48 countries assessed by the Asian Water Development Outlook 2016 are water-insecure, posing a threat to the region’s continued growth.
Multi-factor, multi-state, multi-model scenarios
Food-borne disease remains a major public health challenge in Africa and Asia. Most of the foods that carry the highest pathogen risk are produced by smallholder farmers, marketed through the informal sector, and sold in wet markets.
How are farmers adapting to climate change in Vietnam? Endogeneity and sample selection in a rice yield model
This paper examines how a changing climate may affect rice production and how Vietnamese farmers are likely to adapt to various climatic conditions using an innovative yield function approach, taking into account sample selection bias and endogene
