Investigating approaches between smallholder farming households and commercial intensive agricultural systems to establish and pilot best practice business model(s) based on these new approaches to Proof of Concept.

Research carried out in Indonesia and Vietnam will provide new tools and technologies which can be implemented to better manage biosecurity risks throughout SE Asia. This project aims to transfer and embed this knowledge in public policy and public and private institutional arrangements and practices.

Assessing the potential of Portuguese oyster aquaculture contributing to carbon sequestration in Vietnam. Reducing climate change impacts through shell recycling and carbon crediting.

This project aimed to facilitate research and capacity-building cooperation between Cambodia and Indonesia in marine finfish aquaculture In line with the Cambodian Government's National Aquaculture Development Strategy, the project is focusing on developing a commercially viable and environmentally sustainable aquaculture sector contributing to food security and nutrition, socioeconomic development, GDP and export earnings. 

Improving the income of smallholder cattle producers through intensification of beef cattle production and increased market linkages in mountainous crop-livestock systems in the north-west of Vietnam.

This project aimed to develop more efficient smallholder cattle-growing systems, through improved feeding and management. The growing demand for beef in Vietnam is providing an opportunity for smallholder crop-livestock farmers in Central Vietnam to increase household income through more productive beef breeding and fattening enterprises. Significant challenges need to be overcome to ensure these enterprises can be both profitable and sustainable.

The North West Highlands of Vietnam is one of the poorest regions in the country. Approximately 75% of the ethnic minority people who dominate the region live in poverty, partly because they have poor access to profitable markets in comparison with other regions of Vietnam. There are also various biophysical constraints to agriculture - especially long dry winters and remote mountainous terrain. The Vietnamese Government and ACIAR have identified beef cattle production, an important component of the smallholder farming system, as a priority area for further research and development.

Reducing productivity impacts of diseases on acacia plantations and building capacity and collaboration on forest health in Indonesia, Vietnam, and neighbouring countries.

This project was designed to strengthen the tree improvement capability of Vietnamese Academy of Forest Sciences (VAFS) through increasing sophistication in both strategies and technologies. It built on a substantial body of work in Vietnam in the breeding of acacia species and hybrids, which enhanced the production of high-value germplasm required to meet the Government of Vietnam's objectives for an expanded plantation estate for sawlog and fibre production.

This project aimed to train staff at the Papua New Guinean National Fisheries Authority (NFA) in scientific and technical skills needed to develop the organisation and to implement research projects. The aquaculture and fisheries industries are central to coastal and inland communities' food supply and livelihoods.
