Title of document: Risk Perception and Lowland Rice Farming Change in Savannakhet Province, Southern Laos Authors/editor: Chanthavisouk Ninchaluene, Santi Piyadeth, Ian G. Baird Journal’s name if any: European Journal of East Asian Studies Ministry/Government Agency/Organization: Savannakhet University, University of Wisconsin-Madison Year of publication: 2021 Geographic focus: Lao PDR Main issues/ topics addressed (for example: …) School of agroecology (if any): Web address to original document (if any): Summary: Lowland rice cultivation is changing in southern Laos. A formalised survey and informal interviews in the lowlands of Savannakhet Province indicate that while 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…   Read More

Title of document: Report “Adaptive Research on Rice/Potato Rotation Model (applying SRI for rice and minimum tillage method for potato) in Paddy Land of Phu Binh district, Thai Nguyen Province” Authors/editor: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hoang Van Phu and M.Sc. Nguyen Trong Hung Journal’s name if any: Ministry/Government Agency/Organisation: ICC and ALiSEA Year of publication: 2018 Geographic focus: Vietnam Main issues / topics addressed (for example: Statement of problem; Study approaches and methods; Research results/Findings…) School of agroecology (if any): Web address to original document (if any): Summary: Therefore, both SRI and GPM encourage farmers to cultivate towards reducing chemical inputs, organic enhancement, improve the nutrition of the soil, increase productivity and economic efficiency. Besides, these two farming methods help to motivate farmers to work in groups and development assistance in rural society. However, SRI and GPM are still only implemented individually by the farmers, there is no SRI-GPM combined rotational cultivation model in the rice cultivation system as well as the lack of scientific evidences of its benefits compared with conventional rice cultivation in monoculture. Therefore, we studied "Adaptive Research on Rice/Potato Rotation Model (Applying SRI for Rice and Minimum Tillage Method for Potato) in Paddy Land in Phu Binh District, Thai Nguyen Province, Vietnam".
