Vietnam is among the most vulnerable countries to the effects of climate change. Extreme weather events such as cold and hot spells, drought and flash floods, tornadoes, and typhoons are increasing in intensity and frequency. Severe soil erosion, fertility loss, declining yields, and harsh weather conditions aggravate poverty. Farmers also face poor irrigation capacity, underdeveloped infrastructure, and limited access to financing.At ICRAF, we seek to improve small¬holder farmers’ livelihoods through land use options utilizing agroforestry. The integration of trees in landscapes provides ecosystem services for greater resilience, while increasing productivity and incomes. ICRAF is an autonomous, non-profit research and development institution supported by the Consulta¬tive Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). This information sheet describes our key findings to date.
