Farmers as the Heart of Climate-Resilient Villages

Due to heavy impacts of climate change, Vietnam in general, and the, Northwest region in particular, have witnessed numerous extreme, weather phenomena in recent years. Agriculture, one of the most, vulnerable-to-climate-change sectors, has become increasingly unstable and, risky. For this reason, there have been quite a few discussions not only by the, government but also among development organizations on how to help, farmers adapt to climate change. Many solutions to improving agricultural, production have been tried, applied, and extended. However, the actual, effects have not been achieved yet due to the complexity, uncertainty as well, as embeddedness of climate-related solutions into local practices. Taking a, different approach, the VOF Project's development team poses the question:, how can climate-related agricultural initiatives bring farmers real, transformation to cope up with climate variability?
