A project on improving climate resilience for the agro-ecosystem and communities in the coastal areas of the Mekong Delta province of Bac Lieu, funded by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), has helped improve production efficiency in the locality, heard a workshop held on September 12.
At the event, Nguyen Phuong Duy, a WWF representative, said that after two years of implementation, the project has contributed to changing the traditional shrimp farming practice to reduce the risk of disease. It also helped farmers find markets for their products, creating jobs for rural workers, and bettering local livelihoods through the climate-resilient shrimp – rice farming model.
