Abstract: Agricultural production is increasingly vulnerable to risks and uncertainties associated with climate changes. Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) has been proposed to address challenges in agricultural production such as food security, water shortage, drought, and soil erosion, etc. The benefits of CSA adoption for farmers have been debated. Many previous studies have indicated that impacts seem to be affected by selection bias. However, controlling such selection bias has not been considered in studies on the CSA adoption. Thus, in this study, we analyzed the impacts of CSA adoption on major economic indicators for rice farmers. The Propensity Score Matching (PSM) method was employed to address such selection bias for a case study on rice farmers in Thai Nguyen province, Vietnam. Comparing main economic indicators, we found significant differences in rice yields and used seed inputs between CSA and non-CSA adopters. Ignoring selection bias control resulted in overestimation of economic returns. The results also indicate limited contribution of CSA adoption to a reduction in pesticide and herbicide usage, and an increase in use of organic fertilizers. Some implications for further research are also discussed.

Abstract: This paper aims to identify appropriate approaches and interventions of local governments and extension services through identifying the most potential adaptive measures in agricultural production of local farmers in Thai Nguyen province (Vietnam) and analyses of key drivers, barriers and success factors for climate change adaptation (CCA).The study was conducted during October 2019 – April 2020 in Thai Nguyen and two selected communes with 92 smallholder farmers and relevant stakeholders from the provincial to commune levels using both quantitative and qualitative methods.Results showed a highly vulnerable situation of the local farmers under the context of climate change with 60.9% and 44.6% of the interviewed farmers stating reduced crop/livestock productivity and crop losses, and reduced arable production land and number of crop seasons/year respectively.Ten most potential livelihood models and production practices were identified. For ex le, animal husbandry (pigs, cattle) combined with biogas digester installation intercropping between fruit crops and annual crops use of drought and disease resistant maize varieties changes of crop patterns and calendars water saving production techniques, etc. Driver, barriers and success factors for CCA suggestguiding actions for the local government and extension services to plan adequate approaches and interventions for embracing and upscalingthe CCA initiatives towards climate resilient farming communities.The guiding actions include:strengthening capacity of extension staff providing update market information to farmers for their decisions of crops and livestock disseminating new and locally appropriate CCA models and practices together with on-field demo-plots and farmer field schools and building capacity for community organisations, production groups/cooperatives to promote community learning for wider adoption and thus sustainability of their farming systems in response to the changing environment.

Abstract: Ecologically based approaches to pest management in crop production have been embraced in recent decades due to their validity and effectiveness. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is not a new concept. It has been adopted in various regions in Vietnam, particularly in tomato production, an economically important vegetable crop in the Red River Delta (RRD). Given the occurrence and development of tomato pests are influenced by many factors such as soil types, crop varieties and growth habits, production practices, local climatic conditions, and growing seasons, this paper therefore developed an IPM program for tomatoes in the RRD based on the defined major pests in the region. Detailed factsheets for six major pests were developed and different components of the IPM were explored and employed for the ease of identification and management. Practical suggestions for tomato growers were also presented.

Abstract: This study was conducted in Haiphong (Vietnam) during 2013-2014 to analyse the requirements for the success of small-scale agribusinesses. Following two baseline studies on the current state of the local farming systems and market situations, various stakeholders were engaged in a number of workshops with support of a causal loop diagram (CLD) modelling tool to redefine the pre-requisites for agribusiness success and their interplays. As a result, multi-stakeholder collaboration and government support via its policies and development programs were identified as the necessary conditions for success. Nonetheless, strengthening the capacity of local cooperatives and investing in human and social capitals are of equal importance as sufficient conditions, which generate multiple benefits towards achieving agribusiness success. Values of full participation by all stakeholders and the use of the CLD in defining systemic interventions are also discussed.
