New agricultural development pathways are required to meet climate change adaptation and mitigation needs in the food systems of low-income countries. A research and policy agenda is provided to indicate where innovation and new knowledge are needed. Adaptation requires identifying suitable crop ...

Setting the agenda: Climate change adaptation and mitigation for food systems in the developing world
Participatory research allows groups and individuals to reflect and decide on their societal issues together. Such research was employed in Tra Hat Climate-Smart Village (CSV) in Vietnam to see if specific climate-smart agriculture (CSA) techniques could be adopted in the village. In line with th...

Participatory prioritization of climate-smart agriculture techniques: Case study of processes and outcomes from the Tra Hat Climate-Smart Village in Vietnam
A sustainable food future will require reductions in greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture even as the world produces substantially more food. The production of rice, the staple crop for the majority of the world’s population, emits large quantities of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Accord...

Wetting and drying: reducing greenhouse gas emissions and saving water from rice production
This paper presents the results of key informant interviews conducted in Tra Hat Climate-Smart Village (CSV) in Vietnam. The interviews aimed to further assess the climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practices that farmers wanted to adopt on their farms, as well as the factors and barriers for adopti...

Key informant analysis for climate smart agriculture practices in Tra Hat Village, Vietnam
Methane (CH4) is a major greenhouse gas (GHG), which accounts for 16% of the global GHG effect. In the agriculture sector, rice cultivation substantially contributes 10% of all anthropogenic CH4 emissions, thus the importance of determining the variables that influence and/or control CH4 producti...
