The document “Technical Guidelines for Nature-Based Agriculture” presents nature-based farming practices aimed at enhancing climate resilience in the Mekong Delta. It highlights key models such as floating rice, lotus cultivation, and rice farming under the 1P6G approach. Floating rice is emphasized as a traditional system adapted to deep flooding conditions, utilizing natural sedimentation, reducing input costs, and supporting ecosystem conservation. The document provides detailed technical guidance, including crop biological characteristics, photoperiod sensitivity, land preparation, seed treatment, sowing techniques, water and nutrient management, and pest control. It promotes the use of biological inputs and ecological management strategies to improve sustainability and reduce environmental impacts. Overall, the guidelines support a transition toward climate-adaptive, low-input, and ecosystem-based agricultural systems.
