  • Institutional analysis for scaling alternate wetting and drying for low-emissions rice production

    Vu Hong Trang, Katherine M Nelson et al.ARTICLEClimate and Development2023

    This article provides a comprehensive institutional analysis to better understand the key conditions and incentives relevant for the uptake of alternate wetting and drying (AWD) – a climate-smart irrigation practice in Bangladesh. Practicing AWD in rice production can reduce water consumption by 30% and mitigate methane emissions by 30–70% without yield penalty. Primary research was conducted in Rangpur, Rajshahi, Mymensingh, and Sherpur Division…

  • Achieving ambitions

    Open AccessKatherine M Nelson, Bui Tan Yen et al.ARTICLEDevelopment in Practice2023References: 5

    The agriculture sector contributes significantly to national greenhouse gas emissions in developing countries. Rice is a major contributor to methane emissions in Asia and many countries have recognised the potential to reduce their emissions by including rice sector targets in their nationally determined contributions (NDCs) in the Paris Agreement. The NDC commitments are voluntary emission reduction efforts submitted by each country to curb glo…

  • Rural outmigration - feminization - agricultural production nexus

    Open AccessEva Salve Tino Bacud, Eva Salve Bacud et al.ARTICLEMigration and Development2021

    Presented by Eva Salve Bacud (International Rice Research Institute), as part of the Annual Scientific Conference hosted by the University of Canberra and co-sponsored by the University of Canberra, the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) and CGIAR Collaborative Platform for Gender Research, Canberra, Australia, April 2-4, 2019

  • A comparative analysis of gender and youth issues in rice production in North, Central, and South Vietnam

    Open AccessTran Nhat Lam Duyen, Roberto F Rañola et al.ARTICLEClimate and Development2021

    This paper examines how rice farmers at all gender and ages perceive climate change and adopt Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) technologies to enhance resilience and adaptation in three sub-regions of Vietnam. Impacts on livelihoods resilience, workloads of left behind family members, gender roles and responsibilities are also assessed. Using data from 579 randomly-sampled households, results show that women play a more important role in rice prod…

  • Financing climate change mitigation in agriculture

    Open AccessArun Khatri‐Chhetri, Tek B Sapkota et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    More than one-quarter of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions come from agriculture, forestry, and land-use change. As with other sectors of the economy, agriculture should also contribute to meeting countries’ emission reduction targets. Transformation of agriculture to low-carbon food systems requires much larger investments in low emission development options from global climate finance, domestic budgets, and the private sector. Innovative fin…

  • When climate change is not psychologically distant – Factors influencing the acceptance of sustainable farming practices in the Mekong river Delta of Vietnam

    Open AccessMelanie Connor, Annalyn H de Guia et al.ARTICLEWorld Development Perspectives2020Cited by: 1References: 10

    Rice farmers in the Mekong Delta are not only experiencing challenges due to climate change but are also expected to increase production through sustainable intensification. Increased production and mechanization, such as using combine harvesters leave farmers with more rice straw in the field, which farmers often choose to burn resulting in adverse health effects, increased air pollution and increased greenhouse gas emissions. Farmer adoption of…

  • Incorporating gender into low-emission development

    Cathy Rozel Farnworth, Trần Thu Hà et al.ARTICLEGender Technology and Development2017References: 12

    Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agriculture is needed to meet global climate policy targets. A number of low-emission development (LED) options exist in agriculture, which globally emits 10–12% of GHG emissions. In paddy rice production, alternative wetting and drying (AWD) can reduce emissions by up to 48%. Co-benefits of AWD include lower water consumption, lower use of fertilizer and seeds, and higher resistance to some pests and …
