This technical extension guide prepared by ICRAF and partner organizations explains practical methods for measuring soil erosion and nutrient loss on sloping agricultural land. The document highlights that soil erosion caused by water and wind is a major threat to food security and soil fertility worldwide. Sloping lands in mountainous regions are especially vulnerable due to steep terrain, heavy rainfall, and unsustainable farming practices. The guide introduces erosion plots surrounded by barriers and sediment traps as a simple and low-cost method to monitor soil loss. It explains how to design erosion plots, install barriers, and collect eroded soil and runoff. Soil samples are dried and weighed to calculate erosion rates in tons per hectare. The document also emphasizes the importance of measuring nutrient losses, including organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, to improve soil conservation and sustainable agroforestry management under climate change conditions in Southeast Asia.
How to Measure Soil Erosion and Nutrient Loss on Sloping Land?
Myanmar in which 70 percent of the population is rural people relies on agricultural sector for its economy. It contributes about 37.8 percent of the country’s GDP and employs about 50 percent of the labors (FAO, 2020). However, Myanmar’s agricultural sector is not well developed and does not stand as reliable livelihood for the people, especially for the youths, in rural areas. Hence, the people in rural areas have to seek more livelihood opportunities like leaving their farmlands and moving to other places for work. This situation has impact both on youths and on the agricultural sector which needs youths’ capacities for its development. Therefore, this study focuses on the challenges for the youths in rural areas in approaching their livelihoods, their contribution to agricultural development and how to support them in enhancing sustainable livelihoods in rural areas. This study is conducted through qualitative methods with the use of case study of Pa-O SAZ located in Southern Shan state of Myanmar. The findings result that youths have more challenges for access to natural capital and less challenges for access to physical, social and human capitals. Another significant finding is that both youths and the elders have challenges for access to knowledge or information on their livelihoods. The strengths of the youths for agricultural livelihoods are having more capabilities to adapt with new techniques, innovative ways as well as to connect with varieties of people. For their livelihoods, the youths make decision depending on the factors of having experiences and exposures, support from government and organizations, education, parents and families’ background and access to finance. This study also argues that sustainable livelihood is not only about getting more wages and profit but also about having job and social security. Though agriculture is not promising and reliable work in terms of wages or profit, it can still be regarded as a main livelihood in terms of sustainability in Pa-O SAZ. Hence, diversification becomes the most preferred livelihood strategy for all of the youths participated in this study. Therefore, the study suggests to promote the youths’ participation in agriculture through financial and technical supports from government, NGOs, CSOs, CBOs and the private sector in order to enhance more sustainable livelihoods in Pa-O SAZ.

This report examines indigenous fruit and vegetable systems in Northern Vietnam, focusing on Mai Son district in Son La and Sa Pa in Lao Cai. The study highlights the important role of indigenous crops such as H’Mong mustard, H’Mong cucumber, Tả Van plum, mountain peach, local pumpkin, and traditional mango varieties in supporting livelihoods, nutrition, biodiversity conservation, and agro-ecotourism. Production is mainly small-scale and based on traditional knowledge, with limited use of fertilizers and pesticides. However, farmers face challenges including inconsistent product quality, weak market linkages, poor seed systems, limited post-harvest handling, and lack of certification or branding. Despite these barriers, demand for culturally distinctive and locally sourced products is increasing, especially from tourists, restaurants, homestays, and urban consumers. The report identifies strong opportunities to improve value chains through cooperative development, agroecological farming, OCOP branding, safe production standards, digital marketing, and agro-tourism integration. Strengthening producer organizations, seed systems, and market connections can help preserve indigenous biodiversity while increasing income and resilience for ethnic minority communities in Northern Vietnam.

The Agroecology and Safe Food System Transitions (ASSET) project worked across Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia from 2020 to 2025, aiming to transform agricultural systems toward sustainability, safety, and equity. Funded by AFD, EU, and FFEM, the project partnered with government agencies, research institutions, and farmer organizations to promote agroecology from individual farms to national policy dialogues. The outcome evaluation conducted across the three countries showed that the same project achieved markedly different outcomes depending on the innovation ecosystem it addressed. These differences offer critical insights. Technical interventions interact with existing institutions, networks, policies, and farmer practices built over decades. Understanding these interactions matters for anyone working on agricultural transitions in Southeast Asia and beyond.

This report examines the adoption of Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) in Vietnam’s Central Highlands, the country’s largest coffee-producing region. Based on surveys with 404 farmers in Dak Lak, Gia Lai, and Lam Dong, the study highlights increasing climate risks such as drought, irregular rainfall, pests, and soil degradation that threaten coffee productivity and livelihoods. Farmers are adopting practices including water-saving irrigation, intercropping, agroforestry, mulching, and soil conservation, but adoption remains uneven, especially among ethnic minority and low-income households. Major barriers include high investment costs, limited finance, weak extension services, labor shortages, and insufficient policy implementation. The report emphasizes the need for affordable credit, climate insurance, technical training, localized climate information, stronger cooperatives, and market incentives. It concludes that scaling CSA requires coordinated action among government agencies, private companies, cooperatives, NGOs, and research institutions to improve resilience, sustainability, and long-term competitiveness of Vietnam’s coffee sector.

No-till (NT) cropping systems have been proposed as a strategy to combat soil degradation by storing soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN). We quantified the impacts of NT cropping systems on the changes in SOC and TN stocks and in particulate and mineral-associated organic matter fractions (POM and MAOM), to 100 cm depth, from three 13-year-old experiments in a tropical red Oxisol in Cambodia using diachronic and equivalent soil mass approaches. Established in 2009 and arranged in a randomized complete-block design with triplicates, the experiments included maize (MaiEx)-, soybean (SoyEx)-, and cassava (CasEx)-based cropping systems. Each experiment comprised three treatments: (1) mono-cropping of main crops (maize, soybean, and cassava) under conventional tillage (CTM); (2) mono-cropping of main crops under NT systems with the use of cover crops (NTM); and (3) bi-annual rotation of main crops under NT systems with the use of cover crops (NTR), with both crops being presented every year and represented by NTR1 and NTR2. Soil samples were collected in 2021, 10 years after the last sampling. All the NT systems significantly (p<0.05) increased SOC stock in the topsoil in SoyEx and MaiEx and down to 40 cm in CasEx. Considering the whole profile (0–100 cm), the SOC accumulation rates ranged from 0.86 to 1.47 and from 0.70 to 1.07 Mg C ha−1 yr−1in MaiEx and CasEx, respectively. Although SOC stock significantly increased in CTM at 0–20 cm in MaiEx and CasEx, it remained stable at 0–100 cm in all the experiments. At 0–5 cm, NTR systems significantly increased TN stock in all the experiments, while, in NTM systems, it was only significant in MaiEx and SoyEx. At 0–100 cm, TN stock in all the experiments remained stable under NTR systems, whereas a significant decrease was observed under NTM systems in SoyEx and CasEx. Although C-POM stock significantly increased under all NT systems limited to 0–10 cm in MaiEx and SoyEx, all the NT systems significantly increased C-MAOM stock in the 0–10 cm layer in MaiEx and SoyEx and down to 40 cm in CasEx. All the NT systems significantly increased N-POM stock at 0–10 cm in MaiEx and SoyEx, while a significant decreased in N-MAOM stock was observed below 5 cm in CasEx and below 40 cm in MaiEx and SoyEx. Our findings showed that long-term NT systems with crop species diversification accumulated SOC not only on the surface but also in the whole profile by increasing SOC in both the POM and MAOM, even in the cassava-based system. This study highlights the potential of NT systems for storing SOC over time but raises questions about soil N dynamics.

The State of Land in the Mekong Region is based on key data and information, largely available in the public domain, to identify and describe the key issues and processes revolving around land in the Mekong Region. It aims to be a basis for constructive dialogue and collaborative decision-making. The State of Land in the Mekong Region is structured around five domains: (1) the land-dependent people of the Mekong (2) the land resource base (3) the distribution of land (4) the land tenure security (5) the land governance. One of the conclusions concerns the increase in the inequality in land distribution, with a reduction of small holders land holdings size on one side, and with a large proportion of agricultural land given in concessions, resulting in a boom in commodity/ export crops. Another striking feature is that contrary to common wisdom, farmers remain the majority of population in all countries except Thailand. The agrarian transition is on its way, but far from complete. Rural to rural migrations are higher than rural to urban ones. The creation of employment in secondary and tertiary sector is not sufficient to absorb the work force coming out of agriculture. This also results in growing cross country migrations. This means the demand for agricultural land is increasing, and explains some of the drive of farmers towards upland areas.

The document and video introduce the Regenerative Coconut Agriculture Project (ReCAP) implemented in Thailand from 2020 to 2023, which supports farmers in transitioning from traditional Nam Hom coconut farming to a climate-resilient regenerative organic model. The materials provide in-depth technical guidance based on four core soil health principles, including the use of cover crops to prevent erosion, three composting methods utilizing coconut husk by-products, and integrated pest management (IPM) practices without chemicals. A key feature of the model is diversified intercropping systems (such as banana, pineapple, raspberry, and periwinkle) adapted to the age of coconut plantations, combined with stingless beekeeping and fish farming in orchard canal systems to enhance biodiversity and reduce dependency on a single income source.

Regenerative Coconut Agriculture – Beyond Organic
Although cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is regarded as an important food and energy crop, the effects of its cultivation on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions remain poorly documented. This study, conducted in a tropical red Oxisol in Cambodia, quantified the effects of long-term cassava-based cropping systems on soil methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions using static chambers over two years (2022–24). Also accounting for measured change in soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks, the greenhouse gas balance (in CO2-eq) of the systems was determined. Established in 2009, the replicated treatments included: (1) conventional tillage mono-cropping cassava (CTM-Cs), (2) no-till mono-cropping cassava with biomass retention (NTM-Cs), and (3) no-till bi-annual cassava-maize rotation with cover crops (NTR), where cassava (Cs) and maize (Mz) are grown in two separate plots: NTR1 and NTR2. CH4-C emissions ranged from –123 to +141 µg CH4-C m–2 hr–1, with negligible cumulative emissions (–1.76 to +0.94 kg CH4-C ha–1 yr–1), depending on cropping systems and season. In cassava treatments, N2O-N emissions peaked after mineral fertilizer application (up to +141 µg N2O-N m–2 hr–1), while maize treatment showed the higher peaks (up to +437.18 µg N2O-N m–2 hr–1) after cover crop termination under NTR. Cassava treatments had lower (p < 0.05) average cumulative N2O-N emissions (0.74–0.87 kg N2O-N ha–1 yr–1) than maize (1.42 kg N2O-N ha–1 yr–1). With similar yield-scaled CH4 and N2O emissions, cassava yield under NTR-Cs was 20–30% higher (p > 0.05) than CTM-Cs and NTM-Cs, respectively. Accounting for CH4 and N2O emissions and annual SOC accumulation, NTM-Cs, NTR1 and NTR2 systems (2022–24) resulted in a net climate mitigation benefit by sequestering –3.52, –1.93 and –3.16 Mg CO2-eq ha–1 yr–1, respectively. Our results showed that while N2O emissions were consistently higher in the treatment characterized by greater cover crop residue quantity and quality, they only slightly offset the climate benefits due to increased SOC stocks. Overall, the findings underscore the potential of NT systems for sustainable cassava production and climate change mitigation.

This topic of interest dates back a few years to when the Director of ECHO Asia, observing that local edible vegetable ferns were only being wild-harvested and made available at market certain times of the year, rationalized that perhaps this local Neglected and Underutilized Species could be cultivated on-farm, using artificial shade, thus making it marketable in the ‘off-season’ as well. Since that time, the experiment has been replicated and wrapped up , and the following article summarizes what has been learned.

Integrating paddy rice cultivation, duck raising, and dry-season cropping is an effective approach to sustainable farming. It increases rice yields through natural fertilization, boosts income with diversified production, and improves soil fertility using green manure, legume residues, and duck manure. This system also reduces labor as ducks control weeds and pests, decreases weed and pest problems, and minimizes the need for chemical inputs, fostering a healthier environment.

This document is a pre-feasibility study that evaluates and proposes innovative methods for collecting, processing, and recycling rice straw as alternatives to open-field burning. It examines current crop residue management practices and presents value-added solutions such as organic fertilizer production, mushroom cultivation, bioenergy (biochar and biogas), and environmentally friendly construction materials. While these approaches offer significant potential to improve farmer livelihoods and promote a circular economy, implementation remains constrained by challenges in mechanized collection, post-harvest logistics, and market development. The report outlines five key policy recommendations: improving mechanization, strengthening storage and transport systems, creating an enabling investment environment, raising public awareness, and fostering sustainable multi-stakeholder collaboration.

Family Financial Management – A Handbook for Farmers
Maintaining and enhancing soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks are options to tackle climate change and food security. However, the large-scale implementation of SOC sequestration in contrasted social and economic environments is a challenge. Giving economic value to SOC is seen as an efficient incentive for farmers to enhance SOC sequestration. There is currently an ever growing number of SOC certification standards for offsetting (OS) greenhouse gases emissions or certifying farmers’ practices (SCP). It is therefore challenging for farmers to find their way in this “jungle”. An analytic and critical review of these SOC standards is crucial to support them. The objectives of our study were therefore to inventory SOC standards, to elaborate a grid to analyse them, and to compare them. We inventoried 22 SOC standards: 16 OS and 6 SCP. Despite transparency for the majority of SOC standards, only 3 standards gave information on the costs and expected benefits from certification. Therefore, how SOC standards could incentivize the implementation of practices boosting SOC sequestration is still to be demonstrated. However, we do not expect OS to be an economic incentive for smallholder farmers due to their complexity and the type of costs. For OS, we highlighted the risk of decoupling SOC sequestration and food production, as no safeguard criteria are included. SCP offers a more holistic approach to SOC sequestration, but SCP will have to improve transparency and guarantee that internal certification is robust to deliver its promises to farmers.

Over centuries, ethnic minority communities in the north of Vietnam have developed complex farming systems well-adapted to their environments. Much of this is based on indigenous knowledge concerned with adapting to locally-available resources and more recently enhancing resiliency to climatic risk. This article draws from data gathered with mixed qualitative methods in ten villages in rural Bac Kan Province in the north of the country. It documents specific examples in the production of banana and medicinal plants; maize and red peanut; taro, pachyrhizus, and maize; and green bean as systems that incorporate native crops in ways that provide resistance to drought, improve water-use efficiency, benefit the soil, minimize agrochemical use, preserve culinary traditions, support gender equality, and increase the incomes of farm families living near the poverty line. Overall, this study illustrates unique ways that indigenous knowledge and agroecological farming practices can increase social, economic, and environmental resiliency, mitigate risk, and strengthen livelihoods in marginalized communities. As communities across the Global South seek answers to ever- increasing challenges brought by changes in climate, this paper argues that policymakers should revisit, support, and promote the indigenous knowledge already present in these communities to advance more sustainable futures.

Located in northwest Cambodia, Battambang is a well-known province in agricultural productions, especially rice. Pesticide use is prevalent in both upland and lowland rice production in the region, with approximately five to six applications, primarily during the second cycle. Use is reportedly lower in the first cycle. In response to these actions, agroecological practices have been promoted actively in the area by various institutions and projects working at national and local levels.

This report examines coffee farmers’ willingness to pay (WTP) for Weather-Indexed Insurance (WII) in Vietnam’s Central Highlands. The study surveyed 404 households in Dak Lak, Gia Lai, and Lam Dong using household interviews, focus group discussions, and a discrete choice experiment. Results show that droughts and excessive rainfall are major threats to coffee production, causing yield losses and income instability. Farmers preferred insurance products covering the February–April and March–May periods, especially with affordable premiums and monthly payment options. Average WTP for a product with a 20 million VND payout was about 2.46 million VND. Awareness and adoption of WII remain low, particularly among non-ACOM farmers, mainly due to limited information and training. Farmers linked to ACOM showed higher willingness to participate because of better knowledge and support services. The report recommends improving training, communication, bundled insurance products, and affordable premium structures to expand climate risk insurance adoption and strengthen resilience in Vietnam’s coffee sector.

This publication, jointly developed by the UN Food Systems Coordination Hub and the Joint SDG Fund, summarizes the results of the Seed Funding Track, demonstrating how early-stage investments helped 12 countries (from Cambodia, Jordan, Kenya, Rwanda, Serbia, Uganda, Viet Nam, and others) move from ambitious goals to the implementation of sustainable food systems. By strengthening policy frameworks, enhancing governance mechanisms, and piloting innovative local solutions, the program established a coordinated foundation for action while reducing fragmentation among institutions. The initiative serves as a strategic stepping stone, enabling countries to build organizational capacity and mobilize larger-scale financing to expand impact and develop resilient food systems over the long term.
From Seed to Scale: Turning Early Action into Lasting Impact for Food Systems Transformation
Lowland rice cultivation is changing in southern Laos. A formalised survey and informal interviews in the lowlands of Savannakhet Province indicate tha twhile some farmers still raise water buffaloes, farmers now mainly use hand-held mechanised ploughs to till their fields. More chemical fertilisers are being used, and improved seed varieties have become dominant, with native varieties disappearing. Due to these changes, rice yields have increased substantially, with many more farmers selling surplus rice. The trade-offs are, however, not simple. Through applying the lens of risk perception, this article presents data about how lowland rice farming—the main occupation for rural people in Savannakhet Province—has changed over the last twenty years, critically assessing how farmers perceive and act upon risk during this time of rapid agrarian change.
Risk Perception and Lowland Rice Farming Change in Savannakhet Province, Southern Laos
Through generations of observation and experimentation, the Tay people of Bac Kan Province in the Northern Mountainous Region of Vietnam have developed complex farming systems, cultural practices and an indigenous knowledge base well-suited to their environments. Drawing on data collected through surveys, interviews and focus group discussions, this article first documents some of this knowledge and its role in supporting agricultural production. However, this research also uncovered that contemporary climate change is occurring at rates faster than that knowledge base can meaningfully adjust and adapt. Agricultural productivity was found to be greatly reduced, with men seeking off-farm employment to supplement the loss in income. Agrochemical use has soared and resulted in declines in the health of the local population. Village gender dynamics have also shifted and women have taken on the extra burden of farming. This paper posits that if indigenous knowledge was better integrated into adaptation planning and policies, its conservation and application would enhance resiliency to climate change in indigenous communities and beyond. Simultaneously, it also adds that as the nature, speed and severity of climate change in many marginal areas occur at rates faster than indigenous knowledge can adapt, blended forms of knowledge may offer practical solutions.
The role of Tay indigenous knowledge in climate change adaptation in the Northern Mountainous Region of Vietnam
Vietnam is highly vulnerable to climate change, and those most severely affected tend to be members of ethnic minority groups living in poverty in marginalized areas. This paper focuses on the Tay, Dao, and Hmong ethnic minorities the Northern Mountainous Region (NMR) of the country, and employs a mixed-method qualitative approach to assess their adaptation to a changing climate in the region as a case study. The NMR is the poorest area of Vietnam, and each of these ethnic minority groups was found to be both vulnerable and adapt in different ways. Results show that adaptation strategies faced considerable barriers, often directly influenced by gender, age, ethnicity, wealth, and location. Many locally-employed coping strategies were also found to be conditional on the strength and foresight (or futility and the lack of foresight) of institutions and policymakers on the local, regional, and central levels. While local knowledge and social capital did ease pressures, policy failures more typically led to mal-adaptation and welfare dependence. Improving not only the quality but also the focus of and access to government resources would considerably enhance the capacity for communities to adapt to the impacts of a changing climate.

This report reviews Vietnam’s policy and legal frameworks related to farmer-managed seed systems (FMSS), biodiversity conservation, and seed governance. The study finds that while Vietnam has strengthened formal seed regulation, certification, and biodiversity management, existing laws and policies remain highly centralized and mainly support commercial and science-based seed systems. Farmer-managed seed systems, which play a vital role in conserving indigenous crop varieties, local adaptation, food security, and climate resilience, are still poorly recognized in national regulations. The report analyzes major legal instruments including the Law on Crop Production (2018), the Law on Biodiversity (2008), and related decrees and circulars. It highlights barriers such as complex certification procedures, limited legal recognition of community seed systems, and weak support for farmer participation. Case studies from northern Vietnam demonstrate that community seed banks, seed clubs, participatory breeding, school gardens, and local conservation initiatives can strengthen livelihoods, agrobiodiversity, and seed security. The report recommends policy reforms that formally recognize FMSS, simplify seed registration procedures, support community seed organizations, and integrate local knowledge into national biodiversity and agricultural strategies.
Recognizing Farmer-Managed Seed Systems in Vietnam: A Review of Policy and Legal Frameworks
This study was conducted to develop and evaluate crop diversification models in agroforestry farming of Arabica coffee (Coffea Arabica L.) in Northwest Vietnam. The main activities included: (I) Experiments to assess the adaptability of Arabica coffee varieties under intercropping with shade trees; (II) Experiments with several crop diversification systems in a coffee-macadamia intercropping model in Dien Bien; and (III) Developing an agroforestry model combining coffee intercropping with black olive, gáo, hông, and Lê VH6 trees in Son La. The results showed that the use of shade trees helped minimize the impact of frost and improve the potential yield indicators of Arabica coffee varieties. Coffee plants thrived in the coffee-macadamia intercropping model, with coffee yields in the agroforestry model reaching 6.4 - 8.6 tons of fresh fruit/ha. However, some intercropping has not yielded high productivity and economic efficiency due to inappropriate planting seasons and techniques. Therefore, further research on longer-term models is needed to comprehensively assess the effectiveness of applying agroforestry and crop diversification to Arabica coffee cultivation in the locality.

It documents specific examples in the production of banana and medicinal plants; maize and red peanut; taro, pachyrhizus, and maize; and green bean as systems that incorporate native crops in ways that provide resis- tance to drought, improve water-use efficiency, benefit the soil, minimize agrochemical use, preserve culinary traditions, support gender equality, and increase the incomes of farm families living near the poverty line. Overall, this study illustrates unique ways that indigenous knowledge and agroecological farming practices can increase social, economic, and environmental resiliency, mitigate risk, and strengthen livelihoods in marginalized communities. As communities across the Global South seek answers to ever- increasing challenges brought by changes in climate, this paper argues that policymakers should revisit, support, and promote the indigenous knowledge already present in these communities to advance more sustainable futures.

Although Voluntary Sustainability Standards have gained traction in promoting more sustainable food production and value chains, their impacts are not always conclusive. Building on actor-network theory, our aim was to analyze the translation of sustainability ideals promoted by the Sustainability Rice Platform (SRP) proponents into grounded agricultural practices and their outcomes on various dimensions of sustainability. To this end, we used a mixed-method and multi-scale approach that combined analysis of SRP governance documents and implementation tools, and a detailed case study conducted in Kampong Thom province, Cambodia. Fieldwork included participant observation, in-depth interviews with SRP proponents, semi-structured interviews with farmers and local stakeholders (n = 57), and quantitative assessment of SRP sustainability outcomes based on a randomized controlled survey of households (n = 275). Our findings underscore exclusionary outcomes in SRP processes, namely the consolidation of hegemonic positions within the supply chain and the limitation of smallholder farmers’ autonomy in decision-making and implementation. Additionally, the paper reveals the absence of impacts of SRP farming practices on the environmental, social, and economic dimensions of sustainability. We argue that sustainability, or the lack thereof, is instead a contingent outcome of local agrarian circumstances shaped by historically embedded agrarian dynamics. Our paper contributes to ongoing discussions on agricultural innovations and cautions against solutions that do not tackle the political cause of unsustainable development.

The report State of Land in the Mekong Region brings together key data and information on the current status of, and changes in, land resources, their social distribution, and the conditions of governance that shape them. The report stresses the need for urgent action towards transformational change. It was co-produced by the Centre for Development and Environment (CDE) of the University of Bern and the Mekong Region Land Governance Project (MRLG). Funding was provided by Switzerland, Germany, and Luxembourg. The Mekong region €“ Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam €“ is in the midst of profound social and environmental change. Despite rapid urbanization, the region remains predominantly rural. More than 60 per cent of its population live in rural areas, and the vast majority of these people are engaged in agriculture. Due to rapid growth of its agricultural sector, the Mekong region has become a global centre of production and trade for commodities such as rubber, rice, cassava, wood, sugar cane, and palm oil. Between 1996 and 2015, overall agricultural land in the Mekong region grew by 20 per cent, or around 9 million hectares. Most of this expansion has occurred at the expense of the region’s natural capital especially forests and other vegetation

The guideline provides a comprehensive manual for organic goat farming, focusing on sustainable livestock management in rural and mountainous areas. It outlines key requirements for farm setup, including proper site selection, buffer zones, and well-designed housing with adequate space, ventilation, and hygiene systems. Goat breeds should be selected based on local adaptability, health, and productivity, with an emphasis on natural reproduction and avoiding artificial interventions such as hormones or cloning. Feeding practices require 100% organic feed, with at least 50% produced on-farm, and a balanced diet consisting mainly of fresh forage. The use of antibiotics, growth stimulants, and genetically modified inputs is prohibited. Animal welfare is prioritized through proper care, access to outdoor areas, and clean water. The guideline also promotes waste management, record-keeping, and compliance with organic standards (TCVN, PGS), contributing to environmental protection, product quality, and sustainable livelihoods.

This document is an in-depth analytical report assessing the cashew value chain, identifying market risks, and proposing strategic solutions to strengthen the resilience of Cambodia’s cashew sector. Despite rapid production growth and its position as the world’s second-largest producer of raw cashew nuts, the industry faces significant systemic risks due to its heavy dependence on raw exports to Vietnam, which account for approximately 97% of total production and rely on trader networks with thin profit margins. In addition, the extensive use of chemical fertilizers in major monoculture production areas such as Kampong Thom and Kampong Cham raises concerns about harmful residues and compliance with strict international market requirements. In response, the report recommends a national transition toward domestic value-added processing to diversify markets, maximize value across the integrated supply chain, and reduce vulnerability to climate change impacts.

Cambodia has faced drastic agrarian changes over the last twenty years with a rapid and massive transformation of the uplands from forest into arable land. Soil quality depletion is one of the main drivers of the resulting decline in crop productivity and increasing production costs in the uplands of Battambang province. The objective of the study was to assess the early effects of conventional plough-based (20 cm) management (CT) and two conservation agriculture- based (CA) cropping systems (the use of a single— CAS vs. multiple cover crop species— CAM) on a maize monocropping system using three soil organic carbon (SOC) fractions on Mollisols in Battambang province. SOC content, permanganate oxidizable carbon (POXC) and soil CO2 basal respiration through SituResp® were recorded at a depth of 0– 10 cm. Twelve sampling periods were used over the growth period of the cover crops and during the maize cycle. POXC and SituResp® were highly sensitive to management practices with, across the 12 sampling periods, higher values (p < .05) under CA than CT, with an average increase of 6% and from 20% to 23%, respectively. No difference was observed in SOC content between the practices in our sampling periods. Seasonal variations were observed in both POXC and SituResp®. POXC underwent larger fluctuations following critical weather events than SituResp®. This study showed that POXC and SituResp® were rapidly sensitive to changes in agricultural management practices. POXC and SituResp® are largely influenced by seasonality and could help clarify the impact of weather patterns on soil C dynamics.

Insect pests affect all forms of agricultural production, from densely planted field crops to high-value nursery plants to grains in storage. A pest management plan should start with foundational knowledge about local pest species and careful planning for pest prevention. We highlighted pest prevention strategies in the first article of this IPM series [http://edn.link/i]. After taking precautionary measures specific to your region and implementing practices that prevent pests from entering or multiplying in your production area, you will need to keep a watchful eye on pest populations and intervene before insect pests are likely to cause too much crop damage, or when they already are causing damage. This article explains some principles and practices for conducting in-field observations (sampling) to inform pest management decisions.

This guide covers good agriculture practices in tea farming to help farmers in Myanmar achieve higher yields and higher quality fresh tea leaves. The guide also covers good manufacturing practices, more specifically, tea-processing methods for both green tea and fermented tea as well as basic hygiene and food safety practices that should be followed at all stages of tea production in order to ensure tea making of the highest quality. The section on processing methods covers mainly homemade green tea (as opposed to factory produced green tea) as well as fermented tea production. On the other hand, the section on basic hygiene and food safety practices is applicable to the manufacture of all types of tea and both factory and home production. Evidently, these guidelines do not include all good agricultural and manufacturing practices relevant to tea production and, as such, should not be considered exhaustive in any way or discourage best practices that are omitted or incompletely described. Rather, this guide provides an overview of the main issues in tea cultivation and processing in Myanmar so that it could be used as a resource for sensitization or training measures, especially where export certification (e.g. organic, HAACP, ISO, FDA, USDA, etc.) is sought. It is hoped that applicable recommendations included in this guide (or at least the major points) are shared with farmers, processors and distributors of tea in Myanmar with a strong recommendation to comply with them.

The Mekong Delta is one of the world’s most critical deltas for food production. But it is also vulnerable to many climate change impacts including soil salinity, drought, land subsidence and biodiversity loss. WWF and DFCD (the Dutch Fund for Climate Change and Development) have cooperated with multiple stakeholders to implement a pilot model: rotative rice-shrimp farming. The project is working with 69 households in Tra Vinh, Ca Mau and Ben Tre, to help them applying the improved farming practices to move forward with ASC certification for shrimp and organic certification for rice. The project hope to bring higher shrimp productivity and quality, with pollution reductions in pollution and land subsidence, increased alluvial sedimentation, responsible application of standards and the creation of value chain links. An ambitious plan to replicate this model to much a larger scale by Minh Phu - one of the largest shrimp exporter of Viet Nam.

This technical extension guide explains practical methods for measuring vegetation cover on sloping land to support sustainable land management, soil conservation, and agroforestry development. The document was developed by projects implemented by World Agroforestry (ICRAF) and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Vietnam. Vegetation cover is defined as the proportion of land covered by green plants such as grasses, shrubs, and trees, which helps reduce soil erosion, improve soil stability, increase organic matter, retain water, and reduce surface runoff. The guide introduces two simple assessment methods. The first uses digital photography and the free ImageJ software to analyze green vegetation cover through image processing. The second uses a 1×1 meter reference frame and visual comparison charts for rapid field estimation. These methods are designed for farmers, extension workers, and researchers working in mountainous and sloping agricultural landscapes in Vietnam and Southeast Asia.

Microgreens are edible vegetable and herb seedlings with only 1–3 inches. Aside from their remarkable nutritional content, they can be grown easily in the city, and hence, they are acclaimed as emerging functional food. This review aimed to provide a systemic insight into the sustainable agriculture, phytochemicals, and biological activities of microgreens in Southeast Asia. The study was conducted by collecting the experimental findings from scientific articles that were published in reputed journals from the year 2000 to 2021 using electronic databases. The comparative analyses were conducted wherever appropriate. Several species of microgreens from the Brassicaceae, Asteraceae, Lamiaceae, Apiaceae, and Amaranthaceae families were discussed. In the first instance, various methods for cultivating microgreens were explained, followed by the summarisation of phytochemicals (e.g., terpenes, polyphenols, and sulfur-containing compounds) present in microgreens. A comparison of phytochemical composition between microgreens and their mature counterparts (macrogreens) was conducted. Moreover, two well-known biological activities of microgreens, i.e., antioxidant and antimicrobial activities, were outlined, together with their experimental data. Additionally, the effects of human health upon the consumption of microgreens were also elaborated.

Southeast Asia is one of the world’s regions most vulnerable to climate change impacts with low-lying land, more severe floods and droughts, larger populations, higher dependency on agriculture for the economic sector, and low resilience of communities. Therefore, a study on how future climate change will affect this region has been conducted, and the results are provided in this paper. Projected surface temperatures and total precipitation from the baseline period of 2013 up to 2100 for Southeast Asia were investigated using the Global Climate Model (GCM) and the Weather Research Forecast (WRF) v3.9.1.1 modelling systems under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 future climate scenarios. The results showed that future temperatures were projected to increase under both climate scenarios RCP4.5 and RCP8.5; however, precipitation was projected to decrease. The temperature was projected to increase by 0.93◦C and 2.50◦C under RCP4.5 and 8.5. Meanwhile, precipitation greatly varied under the RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 climate scenarios in both monsoonal seasons. We conclude that the change in climate variables, particularly the temperature and precipitation, could potentially increase the vulnerability of this region.

Vietnam is highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, and impoverished ethnic minority groups in marginalized areas are more adversely affected. This article focuses on the Northern Mountainous Region (NMR) of Vietnam, which is the poorest region in the country. It employs a participatory case study approach in assessing the vulnerability of the three major ethnic minority groups in the region: (1) the Tay, (2) Dao, and (3) Hmong. The results show that each of the three groups is vulnerable to climate change in different ways. The Tay people are vulnerable to flooding, whereas the Hmong and Dao groups are vulnerable to droughts and cold snaps. This study provides valuable insights into the complex relationship between ethnicity and vulnerability. The vulnerability of specific communities in the study area to climate change impacts gets amplified due to their already existing vulnerabilities, which are accordingly determined by the complex links among culture, geography, poverty, marginalization, and the communities’ lack of access to resources and capital. This underscores the importance of looking beyond simplistic technical response measures; instead, policy and decision-makers need to address both climatic and non-climatic conditions, including the drivers of social vulnerability. Only through this amalgamation of approaches can planners develop measures that are flexible enough to incorporate and mitigate the existing and many “new” vulnerabilities emerging from rapidly evolving human–environment systems.

This document is an empirical study examining the economic, social, and behavioral factors driving the burning of rice straw and sugarcane leaves by farmers in Thailand. The findings show that crop residue burning is mainly driven by low costs, technical constraints, and a tendency to prioritize short-term benefits. This practice contributes to air pollution, threatens public health, increases greenhouse gas emissions, and causes economic losses. The report recommends policy measures to support non-burning residue management, encourage behavioral change, and promote sustainable agricultural practices.

This report, published with co-funding from the EU-German CAPSAFE project, provides an in-depth assessment of the current status, key constraints, and sustainable development opportunities within Cambodia’s pepper value chain. Although Cambodia is home to the world-renowned Kampot pepper, which holds Geographical Indication (GI) status, the sector continues to face major challenges due to limited domestic processing capacity, resulting in most raw pepper being exported informally to neighboring countries such as Vietnam and Thailand. The analysis shows that pepper production has declined since 2018, largely due to the impacts of extreme weather, while cultivation remains concentrated in the border provinces of Tboung Khmum, Mondulkiri, and Ratanakiri. The report proposes strategic actions to strengthen farmer capacity, improve business linkages, and expand digital traceability systems to support the positioning of branded Cambodian pepper in high-value international markets.

This handbook has been prepared to support fieldworkers and farmers in developing vegetative systems of soil and moisture conservation that will meet the requirements of small farmers in developing countries, most of whom reside in the tropics and semitropics. Experience has shown that conventional systems of earth bunds or terraces on small farms are expensive and in many cases, especially in modern times, ineffective. When applied correctly, vegetative systems of soil and moisture conservation-particularly the system of hedges of vetiver grass described in this handbook-have proved cheaper and more effective.

Corona virus (Covid 19) is causing concern in various fields worldwide, especially in the food system. The impacts of Covid 19 on food systems have been one of the factors fueling the debate on how to change food systems to make them more sustainable and resilient to crises. One of the assumptions is that food systems based on agroecology would be more resilient than those based on conventional agriculture. This research aims to understand the resilience of food systems in Laos in the face of Covid19, with a focus on agroecological food system. The objectives of this study are to collect information on the impacts of Covid 19 on the incomes and livelihoods of agroecological farmers and purchasing change of consumers, to analyze the strategies of resilience and adaptation of the different stakeholders involved in agroecology in Xiengkhouang province, and to identify the strategies that make allow resilience or adaptations of these stakeholders to the crisis of this virus. This study has been conducted in Xiengkhouang province of Laos, from March to September 2022. Three concepts (food system, resilience and agroecology) have been used to analyze the evolution of food systems in the time of Covid 19. Various tools are used for our data collection, including literature review, farm and market visits, focus groups discussions and individual interviews of 90 agroecological stakeholders (farmers, traders and consumers) in Xiengkhouang province and Vientiane Capital. The results show that, the main impact of the pandemic on the food system is on food distribution due to travel restrictions. Thus, the impact is more severe for farmers and traders who trade with long distribution channels, especially on the access to market, access to inputs, frequency of sell, food lost, price dropped and loss of income. The main adaptation strategies for agroecological stakeholders rely on their own savings and cut down on unnecessary expenses. Additional copping strategies of farmers are based on the reduction of cropping areas, and for the traders, on the limitation of the volume of trade. Additional copping strategies developed by consumers aim at reducing the quantity of some food (meat and fruits), changing diet (consuming instant food such as instant noodle, canned fish etc. instead), sourcing food from their families and producing their own food. There is no specific support from the government. In this study, we concluded that the food system based on agroecology in Xiengkhuang is resilient, as there is no food shortage or skipping meal reported, even without any food emergency supply program supported by the government. Agroecological stakeholders were able to continue their activities, especially farmers that were able to produce food during and after the pandemic, as the agricultural markets remained open to provide services to the consumers. In addition, rice, the staple food of Lao people can to store for a long time and during periods of strict lockdown, the development of livestock (chicken, eggs...) and home food crops in vegetable gardens have helped to cope with the with the Covid 19 shock.
